Note (Content)"The five hundred years from the 1450s to the 1950s represent an extraordinarily rich quarry for evidence of incunabula sales, collecting and use. What book lists reveal about publishing and reading habits in late 15th-century Venice, how a Scottish librarian went about acquiring incunabula during World War II and the international workshop connections glimpsed through early Hungarian bindings are among the topics explored in this volume. Library professionals train spotlights on French plague tracts, Deventer as a printing place, the use of incunabula in learned societies in the nineteenth-century, and incunabula collecting by monks and universities in England and Scotland"--
