Incunabulum refers to a collection of historical prints and manuscripts that were produced during the 15th century, marking the early stages of printing in Europe. These precious artifacts provide us with glimpses into various aspects of medieval life, culture, and history. One notable the Liber chronicarum, which features engravings depicting the cities of Alexandria and Nuremberg. The city of Alexandria holds great significance as it was home to renowned philosopher Saint Thomas Aquinas. His philosophical works continue to shape our understanding of theology and ethics today. Another remarkable piece is the Complutensian Polyglot Bible by Cisneros, specifically a page from Genesis. This monumental work aimed to compile different translations and interpretations of biblical texts in multiple languages. It showcases the importance placed on religious knowledge during this period. The miniatures found within incunabula also shed light on legendary tales such as King Arthur and his Knights at the Round Table. These illustrations capture moments from epic stories that have captivated audiences for centuries. Additionally, we find hand-colored prints depicting scenes from French chronicles like Griffin's declaration of war against his brothers or Crusaders returning from their journey to the Holy Land. These images offer insights into political conflicts and religious fervor prevalent during medieval times. Furthermore, Ogier le Danois presents a series of miniatures showcasing Charlemagne's knights setting off for battle against Saracens or visiting Rome upon an emissary's plea for defense against Lombard kings. These portrayals highlight both military exploits and diplomatic endeavors undertaken by powerful rulers during this era.
