The text is a universal history of the Christian world from the beginning of times to the early 1490s, written in Latin by the Nuremberg physician and humanist Hartmann Schedel (1440-1514) on commission from the Nuremberg merchants, Sebald Schreyer (1446-1520) and Sebastian Kammermeister (1446-1503). Drawn by the author from multiple medieval and Renaissance sources, such as Bede, Vincent of Beauvais, Martin of Tropau, Bartolomeo Platina, Flavius Blondus, and Philippus de Bergamo, the Chronicle also provides detailed information on the history and topography of European countries and towns. The narrative is divided into 11 parts, the so-called "world ages", and is profusely illustrated with images of biblical and historical events, alongside topographical views of towns and countries in Europe and the Middle East, including Jerusalem (and its destruction) and Byzantium.
