Production and Provenance: Copy-Specific Features of Incunabula de John Goldfinch

Production and Provenance: Copy-Specific Features of Incunabula: Library of the Written Word / Library of the Written Word - The Handpress World, cartea 123

John Goldfinch, Takako Kato, Satoko Tokunaga
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 dec 2024
The aim of this volume is to re-evaluate some of the temporal, intermedial and geographical boundaries built around the long-established discipline, the study of incunabula.
This volume starts by setting out the past and future landscapes of incunabula studies, looking particularly at copy-specific features. The following chapters use research on specific editions or subjects in order to engage with the two key themes: production and provenance of early books.
By examining a wide range of copy-specific aspects of individual books, the volume showcases how printed books were produced in the fifteenth century and subsequently used and transformed by readers and owners during their long journeys till they fell into their current owners’ hands.
