Fifteenth Century Printed Books

²ÝÁñ³ÉÈËÉçÇø holds one of the country’s largest collections of books printed in Europe during the half-century between the invention of printing and 1500.  Included are important early printings of classical and patristic texts, works by Renaissance humanists, and illustrated works, notably the Nuremberg Chronicle and the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili.   Most of the works are in Latin, but the collection also includes some of the earliest printings of Ancient Greek, as well as works in French, German and Italian.
