Print, in the early modern period, could make or break power. This volume addresses one of the most urgent and topical questions in early modern history: how did European authorities use a new medium with such tremendous potential? The eighteen contributors develop new perspectives on the relationship between the rise of print and the changing relationships between subjects and rulers by analysing print’s role in early modern bureaucracy, the techniques of printed propaganda, genres, and strategies of state communication. While print is often still thought of as an emancipating and destabilizing force of change in early modern societies, the resulting picture shows how instrumental print was in strengthening existing power structures. Readership: This volume will appeal to historians of early modern print culture as well as historians of media and anyone with broad interest in early modern cultural and political history.

"Read often, learn all that you can. Let sleep overcome you, the roll still in your hands; when your head falls, let it be on the sacred page." (St Jerome, 384 AD). With these words, the Church Father Jerome exhorted the young Eustochium to find on the sacred page the spiritual nourishment that would give her the strength to live a life of chastity and to keep her monastic vows. His call to read does not stand alone. Books and reading have always played a pivotal role in early and medieval Christianity, often defined as ‘a religion of the book’.A second important stage in the development of the ‘religion of the book’ can be attested in the late Middle Ages, when religious reading was no longer the exclusive right of men and women living in solitude and concentrating on prayer and meditation. Changes in the religious landscape and the birth of new religious movements transformed the medieval town into a privileged area of religious activity. Increasing literacy opened the door to a new and wider public of lay readers. This seminal transformation in the late medieval cultural horizon saw the growing importance of the vernacular, the cultural and religious emancipation of the laity, and the increasing participation of lay people in religious life and activities.This volume presents a new, interdisciplinary approach to religious reading and reading techniques in a lay environment within late medieval textual, social, and cultural transformations.

À quelles conditions un prédicateur devient-il écrivain ? Dans quelles circonstances des écrits produits en lien avec l'événement liturgique et discursif que constitue la prédication en viennent-ils à constituer des textes, susceptibles d'être pris en charge par les études littéraires ? C'est pour répondre à ces questions, et éclairer ainsi le processus de littérarisation des sermons - et peut-être même, dans certains cas, le mystère de leur canonisation littéraire ultérieure en tant qu'oeuvres oratoires -, que des chercheurs venus de tous horizons se sont retrouvés à Genève, en septembre 2014, à l'occasion d'un colloque international. Les quatorze articles réunis dans le présent volume constituent le résultat de leurs réflexions et de leurs échanges : consacrés à des prédicateurs distants par le temps, le lieu et la langue, ils partagent une attention commune aux circonstances idéologiques, techniques et matérielles de la production des manuscrits ou des imprimés dans lesquels se réalisent leurs sermons. Ce faisant, ils contribuent à donner une assise théorique aux études littéraires sur la prédication, en montrant comment l'écrit se fonde paradoxalement sur l'oralité de l'événement qui a motivé sa rédaction pour se constituer en texte.
