Print Culture at the Crossroads: The Book and Central Europe: Library of the Written Word / Library of the Written Word - The Handpress World, cartea 94

Editat de Elizabeth Dillenburg, Howard Louthan, Drew B. Thomas
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 oct 2021
Print Culture at the Crossroads investigates how the spread of printing shaped a distinctive literary culture in Central Europe during the early modern period. Moving beyond the boundaries of the nation state, twenty-five scholars from over a dozen countries examine the role of the press in a region characterised by its many cultures, languages, religions, and alphabets. Antitrinitarians, Roman and Greek Catholics, Calvinists, Jews, Lutherans, and Orthodox Christians used the press to preserve and support their communities. By examining printing and patronage networks, catalogues, inventories, woodblocks, bindings, and ownership marks, this volume reveals a complicated web of connections linking printers and scholars, Jews and Christians, across Central Europe and beyond.
