Dutch Typography in the Sixteenth Century: The Collected Works of Paul Valkema Blouw: Library of the Written Word / Library of the Written Word - The Handpress World, cartea 18

Autor Paul Valkema Blouw Editat de Paul Dijstelberge, A.R.A. Croiset van Uchelen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 iun 2013
When compiling the short-title catalogue of books printed in the sixteenth-century northern Netherlands from 1541 to 1600, Paul Valkema Blouw was confronted with a large number of ‘problem cases’, such as anonymously and/or surreptitiously printed editions, fictitious printers and undated or falsely dated printed works.
By minutely analysing the typefaces, initials, vignettes and other ornaments used, drawing from his extensive knowledge of secondary literature, archival information and his unrivalled typographic memory, he not only managed to attribute a surprising number of these publications to a printer, but also could establish the period of time in which, as well as the places where, they must have been printed.
These findings and the ways in which they were reached are described in the present collection of papers. They are of paramount importance to scholars engaged in research of the period concerned, whether in the field of church history, national history or book history

Notă biografică

Paul Valkema Blouw (1916-2000) spent the first 35 years of his professional career in the antiquarian book trade, working in Utrecht and Amsterdam, Netherlands, as auctioneer, dealer and bibliographer of early printed and rare books. Thereafter he devoted his time to typographical, bibliographical and book historical studies. Between 1979 and 2000 he published 36 papers and the two-volume Typographia Batava. A Repertory of Books Printed in the Northern Netherlands between 1541 and 1600 (1998).

Paul Dijstelberge (1956) studied Dutch Language and Literature, Book History and Byzantinology at the University of Amsterdam. He is a Curator in the Special Collections section of Amsterdam University Library, obtained a Ph.D. in 2007 and teaches Book History in the Department of Book and Manuscript Studies, University of Amsterdam. He has published in the fields of literature and book history. In 2012 he has become a member of the editorial board of Quærendo.

Ton Croiset van Uchelen (1936) studied English Language and Literature and Book History at the University of Amsterdam. Until his retirement he was Chief Curator and Deputy Librarian of Amsterdam University Library and was Editor (1970-89) and Senior Editor (1990-2011) of Quærendo. He has regularly published book historical papers, mainly concerned with 16th to 18th-century calligraphy of the Low Countries.

Recenzii

“Paul Valkema Blouw (1916-2000) was one of the great bibliographers of the twentieth century. His work is an example of the painstaking craftsmanship essential to the recovery of the past. […] In the investigation of the underground print culture of the Dutch Revolt, it is unlikely this work will ever be equalled or superseded. Valkema Blouw was a true pioneer: it is right that his extraordinary learning and influential insights should be honoured by this fine collection of his work.”
Andrew Pettegree, University of St Andrews.

“Valkema Blouw’s essays will be of great importance for a long period”.
Willem Heijting, Amsterdam. In: Quaerendo, Vol. 45, nos. 1-2 (2015), pp. 157-162.
