The term incunabulum (singular) or incunabula (plural) translates from Latin as “cradle” and refers to the cradle or infancy of printing. Works printed between the invention of the printing press in approximately 1450 and the end of the 15th century, or 1500, are given this terminology.
This is one of 30 incunabula held in the Reynolds-Finley Historical Library. Bound in vellum, this work is written by Antonio Guainerio, and is a first edition of a very early and rare work on fevers.
