" the democracy of the intellect
comes from the printed book"
Word Incunabula first used in connection with printing by
Bernard von Malincrodt [?Bernhard von Mallinckrodt?] (1591 - 1664), dean of Munster Cathedral,
in his book De ortus et progressu artis typographicae, Cologne:
ap ud. I Kinchium, 1639. He contributed this [illegible] to the celebration
of the 2nd centenary of Gutenberg's invention. He describes the
period from Gutenberg to 1500 as : Prima Typographiae Incunabula
= the Time when Typography was in its swaddling clothes.
- incunabula period - encompasses a vital period of experimentation
with local scripts , all remnants of the later Middle Ages.
