The advent of Johannes Gutenberg's printing press around 1450 enabled the reproduction of texts in larger editions without having to copy them by hand. The letters, cast in lead, were not only standardized but also identical in their individual types. The beauty of the 1454 Gutenberg Bible has been widely praised ever since the first copies were distributed in unprecedented numbers. With that, from the middle of the 15th century onwards, texts could be reproduced in identical copies and widely circulated. These early prints, produced before the year 1501, are known as incunabula. The term originates in the Latin word incunabulum for "swaddling clothes" or "bands holding the baby in a cradle" - a figurative reference to the infancy of pre-1501 printing technology. Although some of these printed works enjoyed large print runs, few copies have survived into the present day. In many cases, only a single copy remains. Among its many treasures, the Augsburg State and City Library (Staats- und Stadtbibliothek Augsburg) houses 43 unique exemplars of early letterpress printing found nowhere else in the world. For the first time in history, these works are now curated and supplemented by pieces made famous in Germany by the Augsburg collection. The incunabula from Swabia, Germany, and Europe are richly illuminated - hand-painted with brilliant colors and adorned with gold and silver - making them equally unique in their ornamentation. Our catalogue presents all 43 rarities that are on display at this exhibition: Each piece is explained in a two-column layout in German and English, followed by a stunning full-page illustration. --Anton H.
