That whole Danish tulips thing taught us about bubbles a pretty long time ago, when the printing press was still getting popular.
That happened like nearly 200 years after the printing press arrived in Europe.
I qualified it with this:

I think it was very well established 200 years later. There weren't a lot of illuminated manuscripts being made in the Netherlands in the 1630s.
