This book offers the reader a voyage in the new world that opened up to the enlightened Jewish reader of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a time when the first glimmerings of emancipation and secular education were giving large numbers of Jews their first exposure to science, literature, and art, and opening their minds to new ideas. And as on any voyage led by a knowledgeable guide, there are fascinating side-trips along the way: insights into the world of scholarship, then and now, and into the nature of knowledge. All this was happening at a time when Jews' civil status and place in society was undergoing great change in Europe. In this seminal work, Zeev Gries shows that although the history of the book in the Jewish world has long been regarded as the province of librarians and bibliophiles, it is in fact the history of the Jewish intellect. He starts by tracing the awakening of a dormant Jewish intelligentsia-men, women, and children who were thirsty for knowledge. Books were the magic kiss that opened new doors to the modern world; within a century, Jews were making invaluable contributions to the advancement of science and of culture more generally. By surveying the literary output of those years, the author is able to discover what books were being published, where they were published and distributed, and who was reading them. He surveys the fields of halakhic literature, ethical literature, kabbalistic and mystical literature, literature for children and women, and more general literature. He talks about the role of libraries and of book reviews. Above all, he considers the role of books as agents of culture: were they guardians of hallowed sanctity or harbingers of secularization? Gries shows how the types of books favoured by the Jewish reading public offer an insight into the changing nature of their 'portable homeland'. He then goes on to discuss the Haskalah movement and the tensions between increasing secularization and the more traditional world-view, as well as how the resurrection of Hebrew as a secular literary language contributed to the awakening of Jewish nationalism. Nevertheless, he argues that the study of literary history of the period reveals that secular and Zionist leanings were not the only trends present; Jewish literature continued to be permeated with the spirit of religion.

Inspiring debate since the early days of its publication, Elizabeth L. Eisenstein's "The printing press as an agent of change: communications and cultural transformations in early-modern Europe" (1979) has exercised its own force as an agent of change in the world of scholarship. Its path-breaking agenda has played a central role in shaping the study of print culture and "book history". Joining together leading voices in the field of print scholarship, this collection of twenty essays affirms the catalytic properties of Eisenstein's study as a stimulus to further inquiry across geographic, temporal, and disciplinary boundaries. From early modern marginalia to the use of architectural title pages in Renaissance books, from the press in Spanish colonial America to print in the Islamic world, from the role of the printed word in nation-building to changing histories of reading in the electronic age, this book addresses the legacy of Eisenstein's work in print culture studies today as it suggests future directions for the field. In addition : a conversation with Elizabeth L. Eisenstein, bibliographical references and index, publications by Elizabeth L. Eisenstein (p. 421-425)

Etablir l'édition critique d'un texte ancien conduit à s'interroger sur la restitution de la ponctuation trouvée dans les imprimés originaux. Une habitude ancienne consistait plutôt à moderniser un système jugé trop erratique pour être reproduit. La redécouverte des territoires de l'éloquence et des pratiques oratoires a reposé la question de la ponctuation, surtout pour les pièces de théâtre. Un débat s'est alors ouvert entre les partisans de la modernisation et ceux qui prônaient le respect de signes révélateurs d'une déclamation spécifique. Entre l'intuition des uns, chargeant les pauvres typographes de toutes les bizarreries rencontrées, et la conviction de ceux qui disaient redécouvrir une signalétique des intonations de la voix, s'ouvrait un champ d'incertitude qu'aucune étude n'était venu explorer. Alain Riffaud resitue tout d'abord la querelle de la ponctuation dans son contexte et interroge les discours établissant la ponctuation ancienne en référence à la déclamation de l'orateur ou du comédien. Mais le corps de l'étude invite surtout à une exploration minutieuse des imprimés de théâtre au XVIIe siècle, car seule la lecture archéologique appliquée à un corpus important permet de clarifier la question de la ponctuation. Le retour vers les ateliers d'imprimerie permet d'estimer la part des responsabilités entre auteurs, libraires et imprimeurs dans le circuit de production, de juger de la qualité typographique, de percevoir les enjeux de la ponctuation, de découvrir les innovations appliquées au théâtre imprimé. "La Ponctuation du théâtre imprimé au XVIIe siècle" répond aussi bien à la curiosité de l'amateur qu'à l'interrogation du chercheur qui trouvera des conseils méthodiques pour son édition. Les nombreux documents sur lesquels l'étude s'appuie sont autant de preuves établissant la réalité des faits que d'occasions de découvrir la matière très vivante des imprimés anciens.
