The Sibyllenbuch fragment is a partial book leaf that may be the earliest surviving remnant of any European book printed by movable type, before the Gutenberg Bible, which was printed c. 1454. The Sibyllenbuch ("Book of the Sibyls") is a medieval poem containing prophecies of the fate of the Holy Roman Empire. The British Library’s on-line Incunabula Short Title Catalogue dates the Sibyllenbuch fragment to "about 1452-53", making it older than any other European printed work.
