Incunabulum | 
And finally one of our incunabula. This is one of the earliest printed books (1472) but it's so sharp and pristine it could have been printed yesterday. Just look at that illumination! #coololdbooks
MAY 5 PROMPT: INCUNABULUM
Here‘s my offering of #incunabulum for today‘s prompt in the #OldCoolBooks photo #challenge. These are photos I purloined (Shhhhh!!) 😬 from the Web of the newly-discovered Dead Sea Scrolls that are currently on exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science #dmns. Oh HOW I wish I were up to going in person; the museum is just over an hour from my home! Alas, we can obsess over the pics together.
An #incunabulum is a book published before 1501 and since I unfortunately do not own anything so old, here is a picture of page from one with a lovely double tailed mermaid.

Proof that cats will be cats, even on #incunabulum. 😹 A researcher found these inky paw prints on a Croatian manuscript from 1445. #oldcoolbooks #KAL
