Foreign-language printing in London, 1500-1900

Description

"The fourteen essays in this volume represent the first systematic attempt to document and to analyse the tradition of foreign-language printing in London during the period 1500 to 1900. The surveys and case studies use a variety of approaches to document and describe this particular aspect of London printing history, from the history of printing, of publishing, and of bookselling, to consideration of the book as a cultural artefact."--BOOK JACKET.
