Booksellers and Printers in Provincial France 1470–1600
Winner of the 2021 SCSC Bainton Prize for Reference Works
Booksellers and Printers in Provincial France 1470–1600 is the first comprehensive guide to the Renaissance French book trade outside of Paris and Lyon. This volume presents short biographies for over 2700 booksellers, printers and bookbinders – over sixty of whom are identified as fictitious.
The biographies are accompanied wherever possible by the details of commercial partnerships, the type used by printers and reproductions of over a hundred signatures. The book provides the details of over six hundred women who either married into the trade or were independently active. The introductory essay analyses the nature, evolution and geographic dispersion of the members of the trade. It is an indispensable tool for understanding the French Renaissance book world.
Malcolm Walsby is professor of book history at Enssib/University of Lyon, director of the Gabriel Naudé research centre, and co-founder of the Universal Short Title Catalogue. He has published extensively on the early modern European book world.
