Summary
The article discusses how Google's Gemini 3.0 AI model was used to analyze and decipher handwritten circular margin annotations (roundels) in a 1493 Nuremberg Chronicle, one of the earliest illustrated printed encyclopedias. The AI helped researchers understand the 500-year-old annotations in a lavishly colored copy of this historically significant work, which was printed by Anton Koberger and featured woodcuts by Michael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff, with Albrecht Dürer having trained in Wolgemut's workshop.
