This 6,5 meter long parchment scroll depicts the history of the
world, from Adam and Eve up to Christ, as a “Heilsgeschichte”
(history of salvation); central events are illustrated with
multicolored pen and ink drawings. Representing later epochs up to
the middle of the 14th century, tables list the popes up to
Innocent IV (elected in 1352) as well as the kings and emperors up
to Charles IV.
