A miraculous Renaissance rediscovery ~ Apocalyptic Book ~ Black Dragon Doom
A r c t u r u s Offer Upgrade User ID: 53537437 Germany 01/28/2014 07:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	A miraculous Renaissance rediscovery ~ Apocalyptic Book ~ Black Dragon Doom Sixteenth-century Europe was ablaze with signs and wonders. From Poland there came reports of a plague of grey and gold locusts, brought on the wind from Turkey; in Lisbon, the sky was lit up by fiery symbols, and the city was racked by a mighty earthquake; in Salzburg, the bishop’s huntsmen were said to have caught a monstrous grey creature, four-legged, with vicious claws, and the head of a woeful bearded man. These stories travelled along the arterial trade routes of Europe, and all of them eventually reached the Free Imperial City of Augsburg, in present-day southern Germany. There, in the middle of the century, work had begun on an extraordinary volume, a wunderzeichenbuch or “book of wonders”, a compendium of prodigious happenings illustrated with vivid paintings in gouache and watercolour.

Were these foreboding occurrences signs of the apocalypse, or just a lot of Renaissance hearsay? In the 16th century a diligent scribe and artist chronicled these and other portents of woe in a book that was only rediscovered a few years ago.
