This work is an introduction to the study of books produced during the period of the hand press, dating from around 1450 through 1800. Using his own bibliographic interests as a guide, the author selects illustrative examples primarily from fifteenth-century books, books of particular interest to students of English literature, and books central to the development of Anglo-American bibliography. It covers the basic procedures of printing and the parts of the physical book, size, paper, type, illustration; as well as the history of book-copies from cataloging conventions and provenance to electronic media and their implications for the study of books. The author begins with the central distinction between a "book-copy", the particular, individual, physical book, and a "book", the abstract category that organizes these copies into editions, whereby each copy is interchangeable with any other. Among other issues, he addresses such basic questions as: How do students, bibliographers, and collectors discuss these things? And when is it legitimate to generalize on the basis of particular examples? He considers each issue in terms of a practical example or question a reader might confront: How do you identify books on the basis of typography? What is the status of paper evidence? How are the various elements on the page defined? What are the implications of the images available in an online database? And, significantly, how does a scholar's personal experience with books challenge or conform to the standard language of book history and bibliography?

Der Sammelband gilt der europäischen Buchkultur der Vormoderne im Hinblick auf materielle Erscheinungsweisen von Handschrift und Frühdruck, auf deren Inhalte und Gebrauchsformen sowie auf die damit verbundenen Vorverständnisse. Berücksichtigt werden auch Beziehungen und Abgrenzungen gegenüber Nachbarkulturen wie der islamischen Welt. Das Buch profiliert sich dabei in seiner Eigenschaft als singulärer, von bestimmten Ausstattungsformen geprägter Textträger ebenso wie in seinen je spezifischen Kontexten: Erörtert werden Überlieferungstraditionen, Besonderheiten des Gebrauchs und der Aufbewahrung, rituell-symbolhafte Funktionen sowie die Nähe und Distanz zu Bildmedien und Formen der Performanz. Die versammelten Beiträge bieten zu den genannten Themen Überblicksdarstellungen und am Detail orientierte Fallstudien.

The present catalogue comprises detailed descriptions of approx. 90 illuminated manuscripts and early printed books from the collection of the Upper Austrian State Library in Linz. It focuses on the art-historical classification of the presented items for which the in-depth analysis of the books’ and fragments’ decorations constitutes the main basis. Through its many findings on the origin of the described works the catalogue can be regarded as a major contribution to the research on book-illumination and book-production in the late Middle Ages; furthermore it provides the reader with a large number of newly discovered historical data.Text see: http://e-book.fwf.ac.at/o:1160
