It rescued ancient learning from obscurity, transformed knowledge of the natural and physical world, and brought the thrill of book ownership to the masses. But, as Andrew Pettegree reveals in this work of great historical merit, the story of the post-Gutenberg world was rather more complicated than we have often come to believe.The Book in the Renaissance reconstructs the first 150 years of the world of print, exploring the complex web of religious, economic, and cultural concerns surrounding the printed word. From its very beginnings, the printed book had to straddle financial and religious imperatives, as well as the very different requirements and constraints of the many countries who embraced it, and, as Pettegree argues, the process was far from a runaway success. More than ideas, the success or failure of books depended upon patrons and markets, precarious strategies and the thwarting of piracy, and the ebb and flow of popular demand. Owing to his state-of-the-art and highly detailed research, Pettegree crafts an authoritative, lucid, and truly pioneering work of cultural history about a major development in the evolution of European society. 606 $aBook industries and trade$zEurope$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aBook industries and trade$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aPrinting$zEurope$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aPrinting$zEurope$xHistory$xOrigin and antecedents 606 $aBooks$zEurope$xHistory$y1450-1600 606 $aRenaissance 606 $aReformation$zEurope 607 $aEurope$xIntellectual life 615 0$aBook industries and trade$xHistory 615 0$aBook industries and trade$xHistory 615 0$aPrinting$xHistory 615 0$aPrinting$xHistory$xOrigin and antecedents. 615 0$aBooks$xHistory 615 0$aRenaissance. 615 0$aReformation 676 $a070.5094 700 $aPettegree$b Andrew$0480973 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808610703321 996 $aThe book in the Renaissance$94030604 997 $aUNINA
