Hartmann Schedel was a German physician, humanist, and historian who is best known for his work "Nuremberg Chronicle" (Latin: "Chronicon Norimbergense" or "Schedel'sche Weltchronik"), published in 1493. The "Nuremberg Chronicle" is an illustrated world history that chronicles events from the creation of the world until the late 15th century.

The Latin title "Secunda etas mundi" translates to "The Second Age of the World." It refers to a section within the "Nuremberg Chronicle" that covers the period from the biblical Flood to the birth of Christ. This section contains illustrations and written accounts of various historical events, including the lives of biblical figures, ancient civilizations, and notable individuals.

Schedel's "Nuremberg Chronicle" is considered one of the most significant works of incunabula, printed books produced before the year 1501. It was one of the earliest printed books to extensively use illustrations, with over 1,800 woodcut illustrations depicting historical events, cities, landscapes, and portraits of prominent figures.

The "Nuremberg Chronicle" had a significant impact on the dissemination of knowledge during the Renaissance period. It provided a comprehensive overview of history, geography, and theology, reflecting the intellectual and cultural climate of the time. The work's popularity and accessibility contributed to the spread of humanist ideas and the growth of printing and book production in Europe.
