Moses Parts the Red Sea & Receives the Ten Commandments - Leaflet from the 1497 'Pirate' Nuremberg Chronicles
The Nuremberg Chronicles were first published in 1493 by Anton Koberger. Following the success of the initial editions, Johann Schönsperger, an Augsburg based printer, produced pirated editions of the Nuremberg Chronicles, starting with the first Latin edition in 1497. These 'pirate' editions featured re-designed woodcut prints of the original imagery possibly sketched by a young student Albrecht Dürer.

Due to the success and prestige of the Nuremberg Chronicle, which had one of the largest print-runs of an edition during the incunabula (also known as the incunable period of book production c. 1455–1500), one of the first large-scale pirated editions of the Chronicle appeared on the market. The culprit was Johann Schönsperger (c. 1455–1521), a printer working out of Augsburg who produced smaller editions of the Chronicle in 1496, 1497, and 1500 in German, Latin, and a second edition also in German. It was the beginning of unauthorized book editions, pirated editions which capitalized on the success of another author and printer/publisher without consent.[13] Despite the pirating of a successful book, Schönsperger went bankrupt in 1507.
Albrecht Dürer was an apprentice with Wolgemut from 1486 to 1489, so may well have participated in designing some of the illustrations for the specialist craftsmen (called "formschneiders") who cut the blocks, onto which the design had been drawn, or a drawing glued. From 1490 to 1494 Dürer was travelling. A drawing by Wolgemut for the elaborate frontispiece, dated 1490, is in the British Museum. While some art experts may claim to be able to identify which Nuremberg Chronicle woodcuts may be attributed to Dürer, there is no consensus. Dürer was not yet using his monogram, and no artists in Wolgemut's studio signed their work in the Chronicle.
