Rare Book Leaves: Nuremberg Chronicle and Liber Chronicarum. Three leaves. 1). Nüremberg Chronicle. In Latin. One page, recto and verso, large folio, n.p., n.d. Single leaf from a document published by Angon Koberger in 1493, with nine handsome woodcut illustrations. But for a tiny spot along the upper right edge and some slight age-toning throughout, this leaf is in beautiful condition. 2). Nüremberg Chronicle. One page, recto and verso, sextodecimo but affixed to a quarto sheet of manilla construction paper, n.p., n.d. This handcolored woodcut portrait has been salvaged from a damaged leaf from Anton Koberger's 1493 Chronicle. Aside from minor age toning, excellent condition. 3). Liber Chronicarium. In Latin. One page, recto and verso, quarto, n.p., n.d. From Schedel's condensed and scarce 1497 version of the Nuremberg Chronicle. "1497" in pencil (modern hand) at bottom right. small burn hole (less than an inch) at lower left -- two lines of text affected recto and five lines verso. Minor edge toning.
Estimated Value $200 - 250.
