Since all of us work inside of one media revolution, that of digital
communication, we sometimes fail to have a contextual appreciation of what it
is. As I am preparing an article on digital media's foundational role in
literacy today and the necessity of its use in FL education, given our changing
mission, I have been looking at another media revolution. This one, like our
own, was rather fast in its growth, morally and politically controversial,
motored by venture capital and entrepreneurial zeal. What else could it be but
the print revolution and incunabula. Accordingly, I have created a section of
the Andy Holt Virtual Library

INCUNABULA (15th-Century Printed Book)
http://www.utm.edu/vlibrary/incunabula.shtml

whose home page is home page devoted to the history, features, materials and
procedures early printing, the second page brings you the most extensive set of
online lists and catalogs of incunabula anywhere in the world, and the third
allows you to see hundreds of thousands of pages from these books and read
several thousand from cover to cover on line.
