Dlabačová, Anna - Van Leerdam, Andrea - Thompson, John (eds.), Vernacular Books and Their Readers in the Early Age of Print (c. 1450–1600), Leiden - Boston, Brill (Intersections, 85), 2023, xx + 410 pp.
- Resum
- This volume explores various approaches to study vernacular books and reading practices across Europe in the 15th-16th centuries. Through a shared focus on the material book as an interface between producers and users, the contributors investigate how book producers conceived of their target audiences and how these vernacular books were designed and used. Three sections highlight connections between vernacularity and materiality from distinct perspectives: real and imagined readers, mobility of texts and images, and intermediality. The volume brings contributions on different regions, languages, and book types into dialogue.
