Fig. 01. The Schedel’sche Weltchronik or Nuremberg Chronicle published in 1493 is an illustrated incunabulum and world historical encyclopedia that is considered one of the best-preserved early printed books famous for integrating image and text as narrative means. It was produced in Nuremberg under the leadership of author Hartmann Schedel, (a doctor and book collector) while involving a group of artists including Albrecht Dürer. The image reproduced here depicts and artistic interpretation of the Old Testament’s “Fifth Day of Creation,” in Genesis 1:20–1:23, which begins with the phrase: “And God said: ‘Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let fowl fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.” Reproduction from Wikimedia Commons.
