This text is essentially a history book from Genesis through the early 1490s. So far in class we have viewed illuminated manuscripts that have served solely religious purposes, but this book combines religion with, at the time, modern history. This offers a glimpse into \u00a0life in the 15th century and emphasizes the tight-knit relationship between every-day life and religion. There are even pages devoted to the future, suggesting that Judgement Day is approaching.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/hamiltoncs.org\/lit220\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Nuremberg_chronicles_-_Nuremberga.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-189 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/hamiltoncs.org\/lit220\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Nuremberg_chronicles_-_Nuremberga-300x199.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hamiltoncs.org\/lit220\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Nuremberg_chronicles_-_Nuremberga-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/hamiltoncs.org\/lit220\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Nuremberg_chronicles_-_Nuremberga-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/hamiltoncs.org\/lit220\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Nuremberg_chronicles_-_Nuremberga-1024x681.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Aside from the content of the text, the pictures are extremely impressive and, I find, are the primary allure.
