Post incunable
A Postinkunabel , even early print called, is one of the incunabula , ie (in the narrow sense) after December 31, 1500 produced pressure. The end time is not set uniformly. The year 1520 is usually chosen, but the middle of the 16th century (around 1550) is also taken as the limit.
In the Dutch National Library , the limit year is 1540. According to Peter Amelung (2000), the concept of the postal incunable should not extend beyond approx. 1520.
While incunabula research has established itself as a separate subject, there is no comparable research context for post incunabula. Unlike incunabula, post incunabula are generally not listed separately in libraries . There are, however, some bibliographies that cover postal incunabula. In Germany, Hermann Schüling described Die Postinkunabeln of the Giessen University Library in 1967 - so far the only German monograph with this term in the title.
