What does “incipit liber primus” mean?
I am unsure about the language of the phrase "incipit liber primus." Could it possibly be Latin? I would appreciate any clarification on its meaning and origin. Thank you!

If it’s latin, and it seems to be, it’s something about books (liber) first (primer) and begin (incipit).
It is a section of a poem, most often the first (primus) section, after the Introduction (Prologus). Following this is the incipit liber primus. Then comes the incipit liber secundus (second), incipit liber tercius (third), incipit liber quartus (fourth), incipit liber quintus (fifth) and so on.
Good luck!
Avatars refer to a concept that is not any different at all from your "real" name as also only concept. This is a spiritual question because, in fact, there is nothing such as a You that exists. The You/Me/I which folks think they are is a linguistic convention for something that exists only in a dualistic consciousness. Importantly and ultimately, there is not a You and Your Life. There is not God except as your dualistic consciousness thinks one up. Knowing this or even just acting as if this were true changes behavior in a positive way. Thinking there is a God usually (not always) results in the worst kind of behavior because of the divisive delusion and ultimate arrogance it is based on. The practice of remembering and reminding one’s "self" this is usually called religion in the broadest sense. Kshetra means a field of action and a holy place – sometimes site of a war – which affects consciousness in the way that physics describes reality. The World Trade Center Site in New York is one such Kshetra.
incipit liber primus = here begins the first book
explicit liber primus = here ends the first book
primus = first
secundus = second
tertius = third
tertius = forth
quartus = fifth
and so on

My name means "artful and creative". At least my mom says that that is what the baby book said. lol. Uhm, because…Our names give us a sense of identity in the physical world, and our souls are the source of our identity in the spiritual world. Therefore, in a spiritual sense, to be aware of one’s own identity is to be aware of the nature of their own soul.
I know it’s Latin and that "liber" means "book" or "child." Judging by our modern use of "prime," "primus" probably means "first."
