About Iconographic Sources which are Wrong Used. The Case 'Liber Chronicarum'

Summary/Abstract: The Liber Chronicarum or Nuremberg Chronicle, as this compendium is popularly known, was one of the most remarkable books of its time. The text is an amalgam of legend, fantasy and tradition. The Nuremberg Chronicle is best known for its 89 views of towns and cities (from a total of 1.809 illustrations); from these views, 30 are more or less recognizable, while the other 59 are fanciful (and share only 17 different woodcuts). Although it is important for historiography, these book it is not a reliable source of images anymore, so that a question arises: why is it still used like such? This paper tries to correct some of the Romanian historical writings regarding the representations of our towns or land in this book.
