The Nuremberg Chronicle is one of the
earliest printed histories of renaissance Europe.
This exhibition shows some of the ways people read the Nuremberg Chronicle, one of the earliest printed histories. We have compared annotated copies of the Chronicle from across Europe to illustrate different responses to the Reformation, as well as demonstrating the importance of sacred history for a diverse group of readers.
