American University Library is pleased to announce the opening of Special Collections’ exhibit of early printed texts.  The works of history, mathematics, religion, and rhetoric on display date from 1468 through 1500 and show the nature of incunabula, books printed before 1501.  They feature hand-colored initials, unique bindings made of wood and leather, and wood cut illustrations.  This exhibit will be on display on the third floor of the Library through the end of the fall semester.
