proper name variants: Nürnberg

Indulgence, Nuremberg, 1482

This form is an indulgence granted for "promoting the war against the Turks," in a variant designed specifically for women. The handwritten portion in the upper right corner fills in the name of the recipient, Cristina Schuczin, and her diocese, Bamberg. Indulgence forms like this one, combining print and manuscript elements, were some of the first widespread uses of printing in the Middle Ages.
