This manuscript page from a printed book entitled "Ein new getruckt model Büchli..." was created in 1529 by the German artist Johann Schönsperger the Younger. The page shows a table of calculations, likely for accounting or business purposes, demonstrating the importance of numeracy in Renaissance society. The page is typical of the era, with clear, handwritten numerals and precise lines, showcasing the meticulous approach to record keeping. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City preserves this unique glimpse into the practical use of printed materials during this period.
