Royal folio, "THE ORIGINAL EDITION, one of the most extraordinary and curious productions of the fifteenth century, which can never fail to be highly interesting to the lover of ancient engraving and printing. The fine wood-cuts present the first successful imitation of the cross-hatchings of a pen drawing. If Koberger had printed only this Chronicle, he would have done enough to place his name among the most distinguished of his typographical brethren; but he has other and nearly equal claims to a very marked celebrity. See the Bibliotheca Spenceriana, of which no less than 26 pages are devoted to an account of it, accompanied by fac-similes of some of the very singular wood-cuts.
