War and peace: the depredations of modern times.Questions of survival and loss bedevil the study of early printed books. Many early publications are not particularly rare, but others have disappeared altogether. This is clear not only from the improbably large number of books that survive in only one copy, but from many references in contemporary documents to books that cannot now be located. In this volume leading specialists in the field explore different aspects of this poorly understood aspect of book history: classes of texts particularly impacted by poor rates of survival; lost books revealed in contemporary lists or inventories; the collections of now dispersed libraries; deliberate and accidental destruction. A final section describes modern efforts at salvage and restitution following the devastation of the twentieth century.Library of the written word ;Volume 34.Lost booksEuropeHistoryEarly printed booksEuropeBooksEuropeHistory1450-1600BooksEuropeHistory17th centuryPrintingEuropeHistory16th centuryPrintingEuropeHistory17th centuryCensorshipEuropeHistoryPrivate librariesEuropeHistoryLibrariesDestruction and pillageEuropeHistoryLost booksHistory.Early printed booksBooksHistoryBooksHistoryPrintingHistoryPrintingHistoryCensorshipHistory.Private librariesHistory.LibrariesDestruction and pillageHistory.002.094Bruni FlaviaPettegree AndrewMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910558200803321Lost books2824533UNINA
