An incunabule is a book printed in the early period of printing technology, as exemplified by works from the 1470s and 1480s that combined printed text with hand-added decorative elements like illuminated letters and marginalia. These early printed books matter because they represent a transitional moment in the history of written communication, showing how printing technology was initially integrated with traditional manuscript practices.

Un incunable est un livre imprimé en Europe au cours du XVe siècle. L'appellation est parfois étendue aux post-incunables, imprimés dans la première moitié du XVIe siècle. Environ 30 000 incunables sont répertoriés, dont les deux tiers en latin. Le plus ancien est la Bible à quarante-deux lignes (dite « B42 »), imprimée par Johannes Gutenberg, Peter Schöffer et Johann Fust en 1454.
