Italian Incunabula: 110 Original-Leaves described by Konrad Haebler. Translated from the German by André Barbey. [Munich: Weiss & Co. Antiquariat, 1927].

An extensive selection of incunabula leaves illustrating the spread of printing across the Italian peninsula, with descriptive text by Haebler giving the history of the introduction and spread of printing and identifying the leaves, presses and types. Included are early leaves from Sweynheim and Pannartz at Rome (1469), Aldus Manutius at Venice, examples of early Greek printing at Florence and Venice as well as scientific diagrams from the press of Simon Bevilaqua (Venice, 1499).



110 specimen leaves (mounted to 533 x 420mm) from incunabula editions printed in Italy, window-mounted with mounted printed caption labels, some leaves rubricated (lacking text volume [supplied in reduced photostat facsimile from Ann Arbor: University Microfilms], a few leaves spotted or stained). Contained in two publisher's folding linen boxes, lettered on front and spine (corners slightly frayed).
