Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

 

The University of Sydney Library acknowledges that our buildings, collections, and practices exist on unceded Aboriginal lands. We recognise the diversity and knowledges of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff and students across all the lands the University stands on, and respect the ongoing connection Aboriginal people have to these lands, their cultural practices, knowledge systems and histories. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, who have handed down custodianship to each generation for more than 60,000 years.

Incunabula - early printed books

Some of the earliest printed books from Europe

Inunabula is the term used to describe early printed books, pamphlets and broadsides, from the 1450s through to 1501. Incunabula is a Latin word, which translates to “in the cradle”. The University of Sydney Library collection of 35 incunable typographic books includes the 1497 edition of La commedia divina which contained the Giorgione illustration and death notice.
