Nurember Chronicle - Morse Library, Beloit College Hartmann Schedel (1440-1514), a native of Nuremberg, first studied in Leipzig from 1456 to 1462, obtaining the degree of Master of Arts (Magister Artium). Also extant is Schedel's 1498 inventory of his library, which lists in the following thematic order works of grammar, logic, rhetoric, astronomy, astrology, mathematics, philosophy, a variety of books relating to Schedel's studies in the humanities, medicine, surgery, and the history of science, and, lastly, religion and theology. This is not to suggest that Schedel is to be equated with Thucydides for his historical insight-far from it!-or that his views on ancient history were applied equally to biblical and non-biblical sources. www.beloit.edu /~nurember/inside/about/author.htm   (590 words)

Hartmann Schedel The work is a compilation following earlier chronicles closely and generally, even verbally; it depends particularly on the "Supplementum chronicarum" issued at Venice in 1483 by Brother Jacobus Philippus Foresta of Bergamo.

Art History 110, Spring 1999, Class Exhibit Schedel includes religious and mythological references in his map, clearly intended to please middle-class merchants and craftsmen instead of academics. Schedel also ignored Columbus's discovery of the New World, despite the fact that Columbus returned from his voyage in March of 1493 and the Nuremberg Chronicle was not published until much later that year. Schedel's sources and inclusion of mythological and religious symbols clearly signify that the World Map was created for Nuremberg's laymen instead of its cartographers. instruct1.cit.cornell.edu /courses/arth110-spring99/wiltrout.htm   (2009 words)

Slide #260 Monograph Schedel used as a model the mappamundi found in an edition of the Cosmographia of the Roman geographer Pomponius Mela published at Venice in 1488. Like Mela's, Schedel's world map is based on that of Ptolemy, but simplified and without indications of longitude and latitude; it is also shown as a segment of a globe in the conical projection, and surrounded by the twelve winds identified by name. One of Schedel's very few improvements on the map in Mela's Cosmographia involves the definition of the southeastern bend of the coast of west Africa, as recorded by Portuguese navigators around 1470. www.henry-davis.com /MAPS/LMwebpages/260mono.html   (870 words)

Nuremberg Chronicle, Sheet 12: Other Nations by SCHEDEL, Hartmann The Nuremberg Chronicle by Hartmann Schedel is divided into a history of the world in seven ages of the world. The second age of the world uses the descriptions of St Augustine (354 - 430), the Roman Father of the Church and founder of the monastic order, and the classical author Pliny (23/24 -79) and describes the peculiar people who apparently lived in India. Scarcely a decade later the comical notions Europeans had about Indian nations would be refuted by the discovery of the sea route to India. www.wga.hu /html/s/schedel/chronic2.html   (111 words)
