Abstract

J.C.T. Oates began work at Cambridge University Library in 1936. During his long, scholarly career he did much to further research at the University Library. In 1954 he published this catalogue of the 15th-century printed books, which were not included in the main library catalogues. The catalogue lists over 4250 items, with detailed information for those not already described in other publications, & gives references to such information where it already existed. The 15th-century material is listed by place of publication, & is indexed by author, title if anonymous, printer, & former owners & autographs. Although modern catalogues of incunabula are now available online, Oates' catalogue is the only one allowing readers to locate items held by the Library from the earliest days of printing, & is still an important tool for researchers.

Abstract

Between roughly 1350 and 1500, the English vernacular became established as a language of literary, bureaucratic, devotional and controversial writing; metropolitan artisans formed guilds for the production and sale of books for the first time; and Gutenberg's and eventually Caxton's printed books reached their first English consumers. This book gathers the best work on manuscript books in England made during this crucial but neglected period. Its authors survey existing research, gather intensive new evidence and develop new approaches to key topics. The chapters cover the material conditions and economy of the book trade; amateur production both lay and religious; the effects of censorship; and the impact on English book production of manuscripts and artisans from elsewhere in the British Isles and Europe. A wide-ranging and innovative series of essays, this volume is a major contribution to the history of the book in medieval England.

Abstract

"At the end of the eighteenth century, noblemen and revolutionaries spent extravagant sums of money or precious military resources competing to acquire old books, which until then had often been regarded as worthless. These books, called incunabula, achieved cultural and political importance as luxury commodities and as tools for mastering a controversial past. Men of different classes met in a new, shared marketplace, creating a competition for social authority, as books were no longer seen merely as sources of textual information but as a way of controlling the past in the service of contemporary concerns. The old books themselves were often changed to meet new expectations of what important historic objects should be. Focusing on Paris and London, but taking a resolutely pan-European view, this book examines the emergence of this commodity and of a new historical discipline created by traders and craftsmen"--

Abstract

The compass of the volume extends both to single-leaf broadsides from letter-presses and printed forms produced in the 15th and early 16th centuries. The perspectives on this new textual and pictorial medium presented in the 16 articles range from literary studies, history of book-printing and communication, history and art history to research on incunabula. The result is a rich panoply of insights on single-leaf broadsides as testimonies of change and continuity in social communication during the transition to the modern age.

Abstract

Der Augsburger Stadtschreiber und Humanist Konrad Peutinger (1465-1547) besaß die wohl umfangreichste und inhaltlich am breitesten gefächerte Gelehrtenbibliothek seiner Zeit nördlich der Alpen. Die zeitliche Spannbreite der rund 6.000 Druckwerke reicht von den Anfängen des Buchdrucks bis zu Peutingers Tod. Hinzu kommen etwa 200 Handschriften mit einer Fülle von Texten aus fast allen Wissensgebieten. Obwohl die Bibliothek seit dem 18. Jahrhundert nicht mehr als geschlossene Sammlung existiert, lassen sich noch rund 40 Prozent des ursprünglichen Bestands nachweisen. Durch mehrere überlieferte historische Kataloge, darunter zwei von Peutinger selbst geschriebene, ist der ehemalige Umfang der Bibliothek so gut dokumentiert, daß auch die nicht mehr vorhandenen Teile des Bestands weitgehend rekonstruiert werden können. Der zweite Band über die Bibliothek Konrad Peutingers ist den separat aufgestellten juristischen Büchern gewidmet. Wie bei Band 1 bilden die beiden autographen Kataloge Peutingers, die somit vollständig ediert sind, die Grundlage für die Rekonstruktion. Erneut werden nicht nur die erhaltenen Bücher beschrieben, sondern auch die heute verschollenen Bestände möglichst exakt ermittelt. Der juristische Bibliotheksteil umfaßt vor allem die Kommentarliteratur zum römischen wie zum kanonischen Recht. Diese Werke dienten ihm über Jahrzehnte hinweg als wichtiges Arbeitsinstrument bei seinen beruflichen Aufgaben. Mit der Rekonstruktion dieses Teils der Bibliothek Peutingers ist die Grundlage für eine fundierte Erforschung der praktischen Tätigkeit eines der einflußreichsten politischen Berater und Juristen im deutschen Sprachraum in der ersten Hälfte 16. Jahrhunderts geschaffen.
