This tiny book printed in 1549 caught my eye for this little insignia of a dragon on the title-page and spine. While not the insignia of Dracula (as I secretly hoped), this cute stamp is from the stunning Archiginnasio Library in
#Bologna
and likely belonged to Giacomo
#Boncompagni
(1548-1612).

Have you ever wondered what the earliest printed book is in Special Collections at Maynooth? 🤔 It was a pleasure to uncover some important provenance information for this fascinating incunable and to collaborate with the Diocesan Library at Pelplin.
