Vernacular translation in R enaissance F rance, S pain, P ortugal and B ritain
Vernacular translations have, largely, failed to feature in our geography of the Renaissance book. This is a consequence both of our inclination towards a teleological approach to understanding past cultures as well as the priority we have placed on national narratives. Yet, if cultural communities experienced their own particular histories and developments, they were also interconnected. Within the book world, L atin allowed ideas to cross virtu…
Bum Fodder and Kindling
Ephemera—items printed on one or two sheets—represent a huge and culturally important part of early-modern publishing culture. Problematically, however, what has survived in modern collections represents only a tiny fraction of what was once produced. This article examines the problems associated with working with and contextualizing ephemeral literature, addressing issues such as identification and survival. A substantial sample of ephemera was …
Exploring the Print World of Early Modern Iberia
Until very recently, scholars were confronted with a distorted picture of the book world of Renaissance Iberia. Forced to rely on incomplete and fragmented surveys of printing, there was no real basis from which to understand the nature of the Iberian experience or indeed how this contrasted with other European countries. The appearance in 2010 of Iberian Books sought to redress this problem. By knitting together library catalogues and existing b…
Catalán and the Book Industry in the Crown of Aragón, 1475–1601
In common with a small number of other areas in Europe, Catalonia and Valencia stand as intriguing examples of regions where the language of the everyday and the language of published vernacular discourse were quite different. Using Iberian Books as a starting point, this article attempts to trace publishing trends in these regions during the first great age of print. For Catalonia and Valencia to share in the cultural and commercial opportunitie…

French Vernacular Books / Livres vernaculaires français (FB) (2 vols.)
This work offers for the first time a complete list of all books published wholly or partially in the French language before 1601. Based on twelve years of investigations in libraries in France, the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, the Netherlands and elsewhere, it provides an analytical short-title catalogue of over 52,000 bibliographically distinct items, with reference to surviving copies in over 1,600 libraries worldwide. Many of t…
Antwerp and the World
Homicides Royaux
The propaganda campaign launched in response to the assassination of the Duc and Cardinal de Guise on the orders of Henri III in December 1588 was the largest waged in the history of sixteenth-century France. Yet, it has never been the subject of systematic investigation. This article aims to fill this historiographical lacuna by presenting a broad survey of the principal arguments and techniques employed both by the Royalists, who sought to just…
