Highlighting our collections and the work that we do

Coloring Our Collections, Part 4: The Nuremberg Chronicle!

Who doesn’t love the imagery of the Nuremberg Chronicle, taking us through the history of the Christian west from Genesis through the lives of the saints up to the reign of Maximilian I, and introducing us to exotic places in the world of the late fifteenth-century?  There are digitized copies available online, such as that owned by The University of Cambridge, but those are deluxe painted versions.  Our copy was not painted, and in addition, received a cleaning as part of a preservation project in 1999.  The selection of images that we offer are fresh and clean and ready for your colored pencils.  Enjoy!
