Printed. Oldest printed works are a separate thing.

  The qualification "hand-written" is surely superfluous? It would be like saying "world's oldest non-ballpoint writing instrument found".

    Perhaps there've been older stone-carved writings found. Stating "non-ballpoint" might be technically true, but it implies that you're saying that older ballpoint-based writing instruments have been found that you wish to exclude, or that there's something unusual about non-ballpoint writing instruments.
