The following information comes from Witold Rybczynski's book: One Good Turn: A Natural History of the Screwdriver and the Screw. ISBN: 0-684-86729-X

The earliest published evidence found by Rybczynski of screws as we know them, threaded, with heads shaped for driving by a tool, and used to fix two work pieces together, is in a manuscript known as The Mediaeval Housebook, thought to be written in southern Germany between 1475 and 1490. This manuscript shows leg irons and manacles fastened with slotted screws.
