 Incunabula & 16th Century Printing

Among the first thousand books purchased for Grand Valley State University's library were a dozen volumes printed in the 1500s. More recent examples of incunabula (i.e. books printed before 1501) have been added, including a leaf from a 1487 Peter Lombard, two leaves from William Caxton's 1482 Polychronicon, and the complete 1488 Albumasar Flores astrologie with 72 small woodcuts
