Title
Almanach auf das Jahr 1492 [Deutsch].
Description
Almanacs are compilations of information and data on agricultural, nautical, astronomical, astrological, or other events for the year ahead. With the advent of printing in Europe in the 15th century, they were produced in large numbers as single sheets or pamphlets. They are among the earliest printed "spineless wonders" yet due to their ephemeral nature, few have survived. This almanac was printed in Germany in 1491 for the year 1492, and includes the phases of the moon and guidance on the effects of the stars on health.
