German Calendar with Figures is an illustrated German incunable printed by Johann Schäffler in Ulm in 1498. Part of the Iatromathematisches Hausbuch tradition, it brings calendrical knowledge together with astrology and practical medicine, explaining the zodiac and planets alongside subjects such as bloodletting and uroscopy. Its extensive woodcut program includes the labors of the months, astrological figures, and medical imagery. The Stuttgart copy, now in the Württembergische Landesbibliothek, is distinguished by hand-coloring applied to its printed illustrations.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
