Printing and Misprinting

A Companion to Mistakes and In-House Corrections in Renaissance Europe (1450-1650)

Herausgeber: Della Rocca de Candal, Geri; Sachet, Paolo; Grafton, Anthony

Beschreibung

The history of the book may be a technological triumph, spreading freedom and knowledge, but it also a story of errors and adjustments. When printing runs flawlessly, we see little of its process. But misprints and in-house corrections offer us the unique chance to witness aspects of the printing process that would otherwise remain invisible.
