AI overview
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.
