incunabulum \in-kyuh-NAB-yuh-lum\
noun
1 : a book printed before 1501
2 : a work of art or of industry of an early period
I always loved the incanabula and illuminated manuscripts in the UofA special collections. I wanted to explore the rare book department at the Free Library off the parkway. It would have been enchanting to see one of Shakespeare's first folios.
