Hallo and welcome!

Thank you for visiting my site.

Tuscany Book offers

A splendid example of medieval printing, being a  leaf from a fragment of 

Guillelmus Parisiensis. 

Postilla super epistolae et evangelia de tempore et de sanctis et pro defunctis.

printed at Ulm,Germany in 1486  by Conrad Dinckmut.

Bibliographical references: Goff G-681, Gesamtkatalog der Wiegendrucke, 11956.

This Postilla is a collection of comments on various bible passages and religious subjects, which was apparently  heavily used judging by the many marginal notes in the incunabulum.


The literal meaning of the Latin word incunabulum is "infant’s cradle" and alludes to the fact that printing at that time was in its infancy. The fact that a book was printed before 1500 is significant in that its value is much greater than if it had been printed after 1501.


Condition of the leaf: As shown, in good condition. It is on  fairly heavy hand-made paper. There is evidence of ageing: light soiling, edge and margin flaws, etc. I will mention flaws that cannot be seen on the photographs. Size of each leaf: ca. 10.75"x 7.75"

Pictured:  Both sides of the leaf for sale and the colophon leaf with the publcation information, including the date of 1486.
