520 3 |a The Fasciculus temporum, by the Carthusian monk Werner Rolewinck, is the earliest printed chronological world history. The work was first printed in Cologne in 1474, and more than thirty updated editions were published in its author’s lifetime. This copy was published by Georgius Walch in Venice in 1479. -- The text is chiefly concerned with Biblical history before the birth of Christ, and with the spread of Christianity after that. The book incorporates genealogical tables, maps of the world and tinted miniature views of famous cities. The layout is innovative, with running timelines showing the lives of Hebrew prophets, Roman Emperors and Popes. Among the recent events recorded is the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman armies in 1453.
