Incunabula Short Title Catalogue (ISTC)

The Incunabula Short Title Catalogue (ISTC) is the international database of 15th-century European printing created by the British Library with contributions from institutions worldwide. ISTC is a database of 15th-century European printing, begun at the British Library in 1980. It records nearly every separate 15th-century item printed from movable type, ranging from large volumes to single-sheet printing such as indulgences or advertisements, but not material printed entirely from woodblocks or engraved plates.
