Abstract

La maternité, qu’il s’agisse de la génération, de la grossesse, de l’accouchement, de la stérilité ou des naissances « monstrueuses », fascine la Renaissance. Aussi, à l’âge de l’imprimerie, les traités d’obstétrique en langue française connaissent un succès remarquable, accélérant la diffusion des connaissances scientifiques. Valérie Worth-Stylianou examine cette histoire du livre médical en recensant les éditions d’une trentaine d’ouvrages, depuis la première version française du manuel d’Euchaire Rösslin parue en 1536 jusqu’au pamphlet polémique de Louise Bourgeois – la première sage-femme à se faire imprimer – en 1627, en passant par des traités de chirurgiens ou de médecins célèbres tels Ambroise Paré, Laurent Joubert et Jacques Guillemeau. Quels sont les ouvrages qui bénéficient d’une circulation décisive ? Le choix de les publier en français, alors que le latin demeure le langage médical, n’implique-t-il pas une vulgarisation contestable de secrets réservés aux seuls hommes de l’art ? Qu’en est-il alors des querelles sur la double semence, la durée de la grossesse, et la génération des hermaphrodites ? Si ces textes réfléchissent les débats entre médecins et chirurgiens, hommes de l’art et sages-femmes, n’est-il pas remarquable qu’avant même l’ère des grands accoucheurs que seront Mauriceau et Portal, les auteurs les plus avisés s’acharnent surtout à enseigner le moyen de réduire le taux effrayant de la mortalité maternelle et enfantine ? Le corpus constitué comprend le texte annoté des préfaces, une bibliographie critique, la biographie et une analyse de l’apport de chaque auteur, ainsi qu’une centaine d’illustrations.

Abstract

Questions of survival and loss bedevil the study of early printed books. Many early publications are not particularly rare, but others have disappeared altogether. This is clear not only from the improbably large number of books that survive in only one copy, but from many references in contemporary documents to books that cannot now be located. In this volume leading specialists in the field explore different aspects of this poorly understood aspect of book history: classes of texts particularly impacted by poor rates of survival; lost books revealed in contemporary lists or inventories; the collections of now dispersed libraries; deliberate and accidental destruction. A final section describes modern efforts at salvage and restitution following the devastation of the twentieth century.

Abstract

The papers collected in this volume discuss descriptive methods and present conclusions relevant for the history of the book production and reception. Books printed in Europe in the 15th and 16th century still had much in common with manuscripts. They are not mere textual sources, but also material objects whose physical make-up and individual features need to be taken into account in library projects for cataloguing and digitization.

Abstract

This magisterial study re-examines fundamental aspects of what has been termed the printing revolution of the early modern period. David McKitterick argues that many of the changes associated with printing were only gradually absorbed over almost 400 years, a much longer period than usually suggested. From the 1450s onwards, the printed word and image became familiar in most of Europe. For authors, makers of books, and readers, manuscript and print were henceforth to be understood as complements to each other, rather than alternatives. But while printing seems to offer more textual and pictorial consistency than manuscripts, this was not always the case. McKitterick argues that book history and bibliography have been dominated by notions of the uses of the early printed book that did not come into existence until the late nineteenth century, and he invites his readers to work forward from the past, rather than backwards into it.
