The printing was carried out under the supervision of the great scholar-printer Anton Koberger, who was Durer's godfather. Wohlgemut was Albrecht Durer's tutor between 1486-90. The young Dürer was working in the workshop in the years 1486-1489 when many of the early designs for the Chronicle were made and he was probably involved in a certain amount of them.

It shows an elderly scholar in his study, transfixed by the apparition of a blazing disc of light enclosing a series of letters. The scene may represent an alchemist, but does not correspond with traditional representations of the subject. The shining disc also remains unexplained, although the letters ‘INRI’ match the inscription placed over Christ’s head during the crucifixion. The scene possibly shows an allegory of faith; the letters surrounding the disc are intended to be indecipherable, reminding the learned scholar that human knowledge is limited and ambiguous, in contrast with the clarity of divine wisdom.
