Pettegree, Andrew, "North and South: cultural, transmission in the Sixteenth-Century European book world", Bulletin of Spanish Studies, 89/4 [=Exploring the print world of Early Modern Iberia, ed. Alexander S. Wilkinson] (2012), 507-520.
- Resum
- Despite the early enthusiasm for printing, the establishment of the new technology was neither easy nor even. Previous general narratives of print have concentrated on its rapid spread to over 200 centres in every part of Europe; but in fact most of these early ventures were short-lived. This article used the data gathered for the recently launch Universal Short Title Catalogue to chart the contrasting fortunes of publishing north and south of the Alps. It points up the stark contrast that quickly emerged between a core of large publishing centres that dominated, in particular, the production of scholarly literature, and a far less well served European periphery. This understanding of the structural economics and logistics of the trade has significant repercussions for our understanding of how ideas and texts moved around Europe in the age of the Renaissance and Reformation.
