	World Wide Words: Incunabulum
		Even in Latin, the word had a figurative sense of infancy in general, very much as we use cradle in phrases like “The cradle of the Industrial Revolution”.
		Incunabulum is a fairly recent import into English, appearing only at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
		At this stage it could refer to the early stages in the development of anything.

	Incunabulum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An incunabulum is a book, single sheet, or image that was printed — not handwritten — before the year 1501 in Europe.
		There are two types of incunabula: the xylographic (made from a single carved or sculpted block for each page) and the typographic (made with movable type on a printing press in the style of Johann Gutenberg).
		The end date for identifying a book as an incunabulum is convenient, but was chosen arbitrarily.

		Incunabulum 2267 from the collections of the Jagiellonian Library is a collection of fragments of documents extracted from unknown bindings dating back to the 15th century which were discovered 150 years ago and are most probably of German origin.
		Some of the leaves of the incunabulum turned out to be examples of the oldest attempts of printing techniques coming from the Mainz workshop of Johann Gutenberg the inventor of printing who invented the movable type as well as methods of casting types and the press to print leaves.
		In case of incunabulum 2267 the test prints come from three different sources but were printed with the same kind of type.

		A: "Incunabulum" is indeed an odd term with a rather technical meaning: "a book printed before 1501." The word is derived from the Latin plural noun "incunabula," which means literally "bands used to hold a baby in a cradle" and which also was used figuratively to mean "childhood" or "beginning."
		The year 1501 is actually an arbitrary date; the earliest period of printing, during which the field was something of a highly competitive free-for-all, ran well into the 16th century.
		The word "incunabulum" in its current sense was first recorded in the middle of the 19th century.

	Incunabulum
		An Incunabulum (plural incunabula, from the Latin in cuna, "in the cradle") is a book that was printed in the 15th century, that is, in the period between the first work of Johann Gutenberg (around 1450) and the year 1500.
		About a third of the incunabula that are preserved today belong to the Vatican Library[?].
		The tally of editions and titles issued before 1500 runs into thousands, and the most authoritative listing is in the German catalogue, the Gesamtkatalog der Wiegendrucke[?] which is still being compiled; but other reference works such as the series of catalogues of the holdings of the British Library are also useful.

	A critical edition of Martin Martinez Dampies's 'Libro del Antichristo', Zaragoza, 1496 (Spanish and English text)
		The dearth of attention to this incunabulum over several centuries reflects the frequent mistaken bibliographical references to its whereabouts, hence prompting the current investigation.
		The purpose of this study is to present a modern edition equipped with full critical apparatus, a paleographic examination of the NYPL incunabulum, and literary and iconographic analyses of the works contained in the Zaragozan 1496 edition.
		The majority of the woodcuts in the Libro del Antichristo is derived from a 1482 Strassburg block book-a key detail which aids in determining the literary and pictorial sources upon which Martínez Dampiés and his printer, Paul Hurus, relied.

	Incunabula Et Cetera
		The Latin word incunabulum (plural incunabula, and often anglicized as incunable) literally means cradle, and more loosely refers to the infancy, birthplace or origin of something.
		Before the invention of printing using moveable type, books were copied by hand, word for word, letter by letter, by scribes, generally onto parchment or vellum.
		In that light, in perhaps a similarly "magical" light, the purpose of this site is not so much to provide a detailed written history of printing, as that information is easily available all over the World Wide Web as well as, of course, one's local public library.

		Sulpizio opted for an edition with ample margins and blank pages for the corrections and drawings which he invited readers to formulate in order to “help to create the most faithful and complete version possible” of the great an-cient Roman architect’s work.
		Known as the Corsini Incunabulum, MS 50.F.1, the volume is of exceptional interest in that it represents a form of dialogue between two exceptional architects, each working on the same project (Rome) but temporally separated by fifteen centuries.

	Introduction to Incunabula
		It is a more elegant replacement for what had previously been called "fifteeners", and is formed of two Latin words meaning literally "in the cradle" or "in swaddling clothes".
		The first Incunabulum is the Gutenberg Bible of 1455, although there is today some debate among scholars over whether this may be correctly considered the first printed book, as items had been printed in Europe from solid block type, rather than moveable type, since the fourteenth century.
		The factors determining an Incunabulum's collectibility are its appearance, printer, and rarity.

		In autumn 2003 the National and University Library in Zagreb acquired a rare and very precious incunabulum, Dante's Divine Comedy, which was published in 1487 in Brescia by a printer of Croatian origin, Boninus de Boninis (Dobrić Dobrićević [the names being translations of each other]).
		Of course, a broad education must have been required for this as well as a knowledge of current taste in art, and constant communications with artists.
		In all of this, Boninus is a shining example of incunabulum printing, an intellectual of a printer, with very diverse interests and great ambitions in the field of illustrating and decorating the popular editions of the time.
