I ran across this word looking up volvelle, and was surprised at the etymology.

from m-w:

Main Entry: in.cu.nab.u.lum
Pronunciation: "in-ky&-'na-by&-l&m, "i[ng]-
Function: noun
Etymology: New Latin, from Latin incunabula, plural, bands holding the baby in a cradle, from in- + cunae cradle
Date: circa 1859
Inflected Form(s): plural in.cu.nab.u.la /-l&/
1 : a book printed before 1501
2 : a work of art or of industry of an early period

in searching the board(didn't want to yart), the only references were to a member named incunabula back in early 2001...
