Exhibition Lecture | Incunabula of the Second Printing Revolution

The books printed during the first printing revolution were first called incunabula by Hadrianus Junius in a passage in his book entitled Batavia, published posthumously in 1588, in which he referred to a period "inter prima artis [typographicae] incunabula," meaning in the first infancy of the typographic art. Later Cornelius à Beughem applied the term incunabula specifically to books printed in the 15th century in a sale catalogue entitled Incunabula typographiae, published in 1688. The incunabula of the second printing revolution also fall into a specific time period but are identified by a more complex set of parameters.
