The Latin text page is illustrated with a depictions of Kings, Noble men and women and scientists.
RECTO : Including a portrait of Zeno, an Attic philosopher from Cyprus.
VERSO : A large wood cut (140 x 222mm.) showing Noah planted a vineyard, and after he drank of the wine he became drunk and lay uncovered in his tent. Now when Ham saw the nakedness of his father, he told his two brothers about it. But they laid upon his shoulders a garment to cover his nakedness, and turned away their eyes and they did not see their father’s nakedness. Now as Noah wanted to curse Ham, whom God had blessed, he cursed Canaan, the son of Ham, because Ham had laughed at his father, as has previously been written. [The narrative is not exactly in accord with the text of Genesis 10:20-26.]

RECTO : The right hand part of the family tree of generations of Noah through Ham.
These genealogies are of importance, not as family trees, but as histories of the origin and course of tribes and nations, their relations to each other, and the intermingling of populations.
The words “father” and “son” as used in these tables seldom represent individuals. To this Noah was probably an exception, as was Nimrod. Many of the Biblical names are personifications of nations, tribes and places, grouped together to convey some idea of the bond by which they were believed to be connected. Gomer, Javan, Tubal, Mesheck, and Tiras, sons of Japheth, were nations, as were many others.

Nuremberg Chronicle, published the year that Columbus returned to Europe after discovering America. In May of 1493 appeared in the Latin language one of the earliest voluminous books, fully illustrated with 1809 woodcuts printed from 645 woodblocks.
The woodblock cutters were Michael Wolgemut, the well-known teacher of Albrecht Dürer, and his stepson Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. Wohlgemut was Albrecht Dürer's tutor between 1486-90 and recent scholarship has shown, Albrecht Dürer may also have collaborated, since some of the cuts bear a remarkably close resemblance to the Apocalypse illustrations.
The printing was carried out under the supervision of the great scholar-printer Anton Koberger, whose printing were famous throughout Europe
