One of the first books ever printed in England discovered by university librarian

The University of Reading has discovered pages of one of the first books printed in England, dating from the 15th century.

The pages of a mediaeval priest’s handbook, dating to between 1476 and 1477, were found in the University’s archives by Special Collections librarian Erika Delbecque while she was cataloguing thousands of items showing the history of print and graphic design.
