Specialize in translations & facsimiles of 15th to 17th century books

 Letter from Smith&Press - Specializing in Early Printed Book Translations and Facsimiles

  We specialize in translations & facsimiles of 15th to 17th century books, with limited production runs.  Our translations are primarily targeted for the research and academic community, and individual enthusiasts.  Our Latin to English Illustrated Translation of Hartmann Schedel’s Nuremberg Chronicle 1493 was recommended by ALA Choice Magazine for Academic Libraries. 

It now resides in more than 100 Colleges, Universities and Libraries Worldwide.  To view a list of who has purchased this unique translation, please consult the WorldCat database. 

This Translation is also available in our research grade digital library called The Library Connection (TLC).  We went to extensive lengths to provide comprehensive notes and sources from which Schedel compiled this monumental work in the 15th century.  This was a limited production run of 220 sets, of which only 75 remain.  You can also view an October 2012 Blog article and a November 2012 Press Release on Fine Books Magazine’s website regarding this Translation and our company, Smith&Press.  (www.finebooksmagazine.com).
