Adventsrätsel, das Dreiundzwanzigste von vierundzwanzig

Es war auf der Tribüne,
es lächelte die Schöne,
Hubertus entführt Renate
in seine kalte Kemenate – 
heut’ ist’s eine runde Sause, 
welche Braut nahm er nach Hause?

Heute vor 520 Jahren – 23. Dezember 1493: Die Schedelsche Weltchronik erscheint

Ein Meilenstein der Kulturgeschichte 

Etwa 800 Exemplare der 1493 erschienenen Weltchronik des Hartmann Schedel sollen weltweit noch existieren. Ein vollständiges, gut erhaltenes Exemplar erzielte 2010 bei einer Versteigerung in Düsseldorf 264.000 Euro. Schon dieses Ergebnis zeigt, welch außergewöhnliche Bedeutung der Chronik für die Buch-, Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte zugesprochen wird. 
 

Der Bau von Noahs Arche, Holzschnitt aus Schedels Weltchronik, 1493

Das prächtige Werk enthält 1805 großformatige Illustrationen, die alles übertreffen, was die deutsche Holzschnittkunst bis dahin hervorgebracht hatte, darunter auch die erste gedruckte Deutschlandkarte und doppelseitige Städteansichten. Die besten Drucker und Künstler ihrer Zeit waren an dem Unternehmen beteiligt. Der Nürnberger Arzt und Bücherfreund Hartmann Schedel (1440-1514) fungierte als Redakteur der Chronik. Sie stellt die Weltgeschichte von Adam und Eva bis ins 15. Jahrhundert in traditioneller Sichtweise dar. Die Texte selbst wurden zum Großteil aus älteren Werken übernommen. Die Chronik erschien in einer lateinischen und einer deutschen Ausgabe, die allerdings nicht identisch waren. Die Auflage betrug 2100 Exemplare. 

Was am 23. Dezember noch geschah: 
1990: In Slowenien entscheiden sich 95% der Wahlberechtigten für eine Loslösung vom Bundesstaat Jugoslawien.

Yes – In The Presence of

Anderson/Howe/Squire/White
September 11, 2001
Deeper than every ocean
Deeper than every river
That's what your presence brings to me
Revealing the words I listen
Seeing you in my silence
Learning I'm with you constantly
As I was before
If we were flowers
We would worship the sun
So why not now?
This high is shining brightly
Brighter than before
As the door was open wide
There inside was a diamond chair
Where I sat when I was young
I wrote down the words
Only when the young at heart
Can enter the real world
This chance I've waited for
For you to see
If I had chances I would spend them with you
To hold you close and let your love surround me
Deeper than before
(Deeper than every ocean)
And I know this love is real
(Deeper than every river)
Realize this is meant to be
That's what your eyes they say to me
You are listening to how I feel
So expectedly
(Brighter than every morning)
From the ocean to the sky
(Beautiful as the sunset)
Every river to the sea
Nature surrounds me constantly
We can hear love constantly
This is for you and me
Turn around and come deeper now
So what happens when I touch you there
You feel the words roll over you
Thinking of the better scenes
The memories
As everybody else just
Hasn't got the time
To help you anymore
'Cause if the reason for
The things that pleasure us
To please ourselves
Not pressure us
To give our ego
Some pleasure time
Can you imagine
Any reason
To know you're only fooling yourself
And then you'll understand why
You'll understand why
So if we choose to realize
All existence is a dream
This perfect resume to you
From me
Just had a tough time with magic
The death of ego
The moon
It was just coming through
Send me such a good time
In a letter form, tell me
The pleasure, no pressure
Pure imagination in a metaphoric dream
I get amazed like a true beginner
I get amazed like a true believer
I get amazed when I see you there
And I come alive
I believe I'm a true beginner
I believe I'm a true beginner
In your arms I can see it all
I can see it all
If we were flowers
We would worship the sun
So why not now?
This light is burning brightly
This light is burning brightly
Brighter than before
Brighter than before
Brighter than before
Brighter than before
Turn around and remember that
When it gets so low
As you finally hit the ground
Turn around and remember that
Now I'm standing tall
Standing on my sacred ground
Turn around and remember that
When it gets so low
As you finally hit the ground
Turn around and remember that
Now you're standing tall
Standing on sacred ground
Standing on sacred ground
Standing on sacred ground
