Mediæval furniture, household articles, beds, and doors with splendid ironwork and hinges. Turn (left) down corridor 26 till you come to (right) ROOM 36.

Historical collection of tombs and stained glass continued. ROOMS 49-51, and 52 (above). Guns and weapons from eleventh century. Chased armour. ROOM 53 (above). Costumes. Heraldic ceiling. Hence down the open spiral staircase, past the bear-pit, to ROOM 54. Cannons, fourteenth to nineteenth century. ROOM 55. Torture instruments and guillotine (end of eighteenth century). From this point a small staircase in the corner of the cloisters (Room 55) leads to Room 56, containing some interesting examples of early book-bindings. Passing through this room, and turning to the left, we arrive at ROOMS 57-58, where we have before our eyes the development of manuscripts, engraving and printing from the beginning of the eighth century. The first room contains many documents and charters, manuscripts, autographs, and illuminations. Besides these there are many sketches, architectural drawings and designs, chiefly heraldic, for works of art. Here, too, is a noticeable collection of wood-engravings, including many fine leaves by Durer (Apocalypse, Passions, Life of Mary), Lucas Cranach, Hans Burgkmair, Grien, Schäuffelein, etc., and of copper-engravings[68] by Durer, Lucas van Leyden, Aldegrever, Altdorfer, Augustin Hirschvogel, etc. In the next room we enter the region of printed books, and find a well-arranged and delightful collection. In case i., among other examples of the early "Block books" (books printed wholly from carved blocks of wood, from which undoubtedly the idea of moveable type arose), we note the _Ars Moriendi_ and the _Kalendar of Ludwig von Basel_ (1460?). Of Block books at Nuremberg, we may note that Hans Sporer produced here an edition of the _Endkrist_ (1472), of the _Ars Moriendi_, 1473, and of the _Biblia Pauperum_ (1475).
