Authored by Hartmann Schedel (1440 - 1514) in Nuremberg, the engravers being Wilhelm Pleydenwurff (1460 - 1494) and Michael Wolgemuth (1434 - 1519). In great shape, as shown, with 3 separate cuts featuring portrait figure woodcuts and attractive gothic font, one being of the famous English Bible translator and martyr John Wycliffe.
