About the Book

The aim of this volume is to re-evaluate some of the temporal, intermedial and geographical boundaries built around a long-established discipline, the study of incunabula. This volume starts by setting out the past and future landscapes of incunabula studies, looking particularly at copy-specific features. Subsequent chapters use research on specific editions or subjects in order to engage with the two key themes of the book: production and provenance of early printed books. By examining a wide range of copy-specific aspects of individual books, the volume showcases how printed books were produced in the fifteenth century and subsequently used and transformed by readers and owners during their long journeys till they fell into their current owners’ hands.
