QA159 - The Temple in Jerusalem, as given by Hartmann Schedel
Fig. 159 (p. 212) - The Temple in Jerusalem, as given by Hartmann Schedel in his ‘Weltchronik’ in 1493, has a reduced number of gates (six) and favoures an axial (two-fold) symmetry.
Hartmann Schedel (1440 – 1514) provided an important visualisation of the Temple in Jerusalem in his ‘Liber chronicarum’ (also known as the ‘Schedelsche Welt Chronik’) (fig. 159). He issued the book in July 1493 on the printing press of Johann Gutenberg in Nuremberg. Some eight hundred copies of the Latin edition and four hundred of the German editions have been traced, making the ‘Nuremberg Chronicle’ one of the most popular incunables. The mixture of sacred and profane history and a large number of woodcut illustrations must have contributed to this success. Masters like Michael Wolgemut and Hans Pleydenwurff produced most of the maps and double-page city views to enhance the history of the world.
