Abstract & Notes
This volume presents the proceedings of the conference Printing R-Evolution and Society 1450-1500: Fifty Years that Changed Europe, organized by Professor Cristina Dondi in Venice in September 2018. It focuses on fifteenth-century printed books, with particular attention to Books of Hours from Italy. The essays examine the transmission, reception, and circulation of texts, the role of libraries and collectors in Europe and the United States, and the economic and social contexts of the early print market.
Key themes include textual analysis, provenance research, trade networks, book prices, and the reuse of illustrations. The volume also discusses digital tools and databases, such as the Material Evidence in Incunabula (MEI) database and TEXT-inc, developed to facilitate the study of incunabula and their historical context. Drawing on archival and material evidence, the volume offers a comprehensive view of the production, distribution, and reception of fifteenth-century books, bridging the study of individual copies and broader patterns of early modern print culture.
