This is a page from the *Cronica Cronicarum*, also known as the *Chronicles of the World*, a popular illustrated history book that was printed multiple times throughout the 16th century. This particular page likely dates back to between 1521 and 1529, though the artist remains anonymous. It contains several woodcut illustrations of events from the Old Testament, set within decorative borders and accompanied by text in Dutch. These woodcuts, notable for their vibrant colors and simple style, illustrate biblical stories such as the creation of the world and the story of Adam and Eve, a popular theme throughout the history of art.
