Quick Summary

The Annales Typographici ab Artis Inventae Origine ad Annum MD is a five-volume work by Georg Wolfgang Panzer, published between 1793 and 1797. This comprehensive catalog aimed to list books chronologically from the invention of printing up to the year 1500, organized by printing centers. It was a foundational attempt to systematically document early printed books, known as incunabula, which are defined as books printed from the invention of typography in the 1450s until the end of the 15th century. Panzer's work was later succeeded by other bibliographical efforts that further detailed and categorized these early printed materials.1
