Incunabula is the debut album by British electronic music duo Autechre, released by Warp Records on 29 November 1993 and is the seventh album in the Artificial Intelligence series. The album's title has also been typeset as (Incunabula), as all Artificial Intelligence releases were. Incunabula is a Latin word, the plural of incunabulum, the term used for printed books published prior to 1501; or more generally for something in its infancy or early stages of development.
Sean Booth and Rob Brown have claimed that Incunabula, rather than a deliberate attempt at an album, is actually a compilation made by Warp right after they were signed. Despite this, the album was a hit and produced " Basscadet", the only single released by Autechre that has been taken from one of their albums. "Kalpol Introl" was used in Darren Aronofsky's debut film π. The track "Lowride" samples DJ Premier in Deep Concentration (1989) by Gang Starr. The track "Bike" is featured in the game Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City on "Self-Actualization FM".
A limited edition pressing of 1000 copies was released on silver vinyl.
Incunabula is the name of a quality small press based in Seattle, Washington, United States. The company is under the sole proprietorship of Ron Drummond, who serves as publisher, editor, and production manager. The company's distinctive logo, consisting of a photograph of pieces of type arranged in two vertical columns that spell out the company name, was designed by Nick Gregoric from an idea by Drummond. Though the press is often mistakenly referred to as "Incunabula Press", the correct name in fact consists of just the single word.
Incunabula was originally active during the years 1992-1996, during which time it published three books and one broadside: They Fly at Çiron by Samuel R. Delany (July 1993); Antiquities: Seven Stories by John Crowley (October 1993), short-listed for the 1994 World Fantasy Award for Best Collection; "Solutions to Everything" by Michael Ventura (10 September 1994); and Atlantis: Three Tales by Samuel R. Delany (July 1995). Çiron and Antiquities were both published in trade editions of 1,000 copies and limited editions of 77 signed, numbered, hand-bound copies. The Ventura broadside was published in a private edition of approximately 200 copies on the occasion of the marriage of Penny Deerfield and John Vik (about half the copies were distributed as a gift from the bride and groom to their guests); it carries a publisher's acknowledgment explicitly requesting that copies be given and received freely and without the exchange of money. Atlantis was published in a single limited edition of 334 signed, numbered copies; Incunabula also produced a trade edition of Atlantis for Wesleyan University Press.
They Fly at Çiron was designed and composited by Olav Martin Kvern; subsequent Incunabula titles were designed and composited by the multiple award-winning book designer, John D. Berry.

Usage examples of "incunabula".
Yama and Telmon had most of the major verses of the Puranas by heart, and were guided by Zakiel to read extensively in chrestomathies and incunabulae, but while Telmon dutifully followed the program Zakiel set out, Yama preferred to idle time away dreaming over bestiaries, prosopographies and maps—most especially maps.
