"When does a book that is merely old become a rarity and an object of desire? David McKitterick examines, for the first time, the development of the idea of rare books, and why they matter. Studying examples from across Europe, he explores how this idea took shape in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and how collectors, the book trade and libraries gradually came together to identify canons that often remain the same today. In a world that many people found to be over-supplied with books, the invention of rare books was a process of selection. As books are one of the principal means of memory, this process also created particular kinds of remembering. Taking a European perspective, McKitterick looks at these interests as they developed from being matters of largely private concern and curiosity, to the larger public and national responsibilities of the first half of the nineteenth century"--

This collection of essays examines the operation of the market for learned books in Early Modern Europe through a series of case studies. After an overview of general market conditions, issues raised by the transmission of knowledge and the economics of the book trade are addressed. These include the selection of copy, the role of legal and religious controls in the production and diffusion of texts, the paths open to authors to achieve publication, the finances and interaction of publishing houses, the margins of the European book trade in England and Portugal, and the development of bibliographical tools to assist purchasers in their pursuit of scholarly works.

L'invention et le développement de l'imprimerie en Europe révolutionnèrent l'accès au texte. La vaste quantité de livres devenus disponibles au cours des dernières décennies du XVe siècle eut un impact profond sur l'ensemble de la société. Un véritable changement de paradigme eut lieu dans la sphère religieuse comme dans le domaine du politique et de la manière de gouverner. Cet essai de synthèse renouvelle la compréhension des enjeux de l'imprimé de la première modernité. A partir des travaux français et internationaux les plus récents et des abondantes recherches de l'auteur, il donne les clefs pour appréhender ce médium en examinant en trois temps le monde de l'imprimé. Cet ouvrage souligne que l'imprimé était d'abord un objet et une marchandise : produit dans les ateliers des imprimeurs, il était commandité, distribué puis vendu dans des échoppes et étals dispersés à travers l'Europe, avant d'être lu et collectionné. La nouvelle technologie se révéla également être un outil au service des pouvoirs traditionnels séculiers et religieux, autant qu'aux mains des mouvements de contestation et d'opposition comme la Réforme. Enfin, les imprimés véhiculaient des textes qui jouèrent un rôle considérable dans la diffusion du savoir, dans les loisirs et divertissements des femmes et des hommes, ainsi que dans la circulation des informations et des polémiques qui animèrent cette période. En présentant le livre et ses enjeux sous un jour nouveau, cette étude cherche à placer l'histoire de l'imprimé au coeur de l'histoire générale des XVe, XVIe et XVIIe siècles.
