EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from the Nuremberg Chronicle, also known as the Liber Chronicarum, created by Hartmann Schedel in 1493. The illustration is a representation of the biblical episode of the Adoration of the Golden Calf by the Israelites, as described in the Old Testament. The scene unfolds with Moses, depicted in the foreground, holding the Ten Commandments tablets, his face contorted in anger upon discovering the idolatrous worship of the golden calf by the Israelites. The illustration is a masterpiece of the 15th century, created through the artful collaboration of Michael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. The intricate engraving is richly colored, adding depth and vibrancy to the narrative. The Latin edition of the Nuremberg Chronicle, housed in the Episcopal Library in Barcelona, Spain, is a testament to the enduring importance of this work in European literature and history. The Adoration of the Golden Calf is an episode from the Old Testament that recounts the Israelites' loss of faith during Moses' prolonged absence on Mount Sinai. In their impatience, they demanded that Aaron, their leader, create an idol for them to worship. This scene serves as a reminder of the dangers of idolatry and the importance of maintaining faith and obedience to God. The Nuremberg Chronicle is a significant work of medieval literature, providing a comprehensive record of world history up to the year 1500. Its intricate illustrations and meticulous attention to detail continue to captivate scholars and history enthusiasts alike, making it an invaluable resource for understanding the cultural and historical context of the late Middle Ages.
