Abstract

The article focuses on the making of the facsimile edition of the book "Nuremberg Chronicle." It states that the materials used in the facsimile are the same with the exception of the composition of the ink and the plywood birch boards. It stresses that it is possible to get a hand made paper that is very close to the original book, but it is financially prohibitive. On the other hand, scanning process is essential in facsimile which will take 3 months. Further, prototype for the facsimile edition features binding process and casting process.
