An Additional Incunabulum in Westminster Abbey Library

A previously unrecorded incunabulum, an early printed book from the 15th century, has been identified in Westminster Abbey Library. This discovery adds to the known collection of such rare texts, expanding the catalogue documented by Cook and Foot (2013). The research involved a systematic review of the library's holdings, focusing on identifying additional incunabula that may have been overlooked or misclassified. The finding highlights the significance of Westminster Abbey Library as a repository of historical printed materials, contributing to the broader understanding of early book production and preservation in this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
