The volume contains a reassessment of the economic and social impact of the printing revolution on the development of early modern European society, using 15th-century printed books, which still survive today in their thousands, as historical sources. Papers on production, trade, the cost of books in comparison with the cost of living, literacy, the transmission of texts in print, and the use and circulation of books and illustration are the result of several years of international, collaborative, and multidisciplinary research coordinated by the 15cBOOKTRADE project funded by an ERC Consolidator grant (2014-2019) and supported by the Consortium of European Research Libraries.
The proceedings of the conference held in Venice, Palazzo Ducale, 19-21 Sept. 2018.
This is an open access gold publication: as well as freely available in pdf on the website of Edizioni Ca’ Foscari (Univ. of Venice), paper copies will be available for purchase.
