Sixteen closely linked articles trace the relationship between the spread of printed books and the spread of the Reformation, a relationship that is a scholarly commonplace but still affords opportunities for evidence-gathering and analysis. Two differing approaches prevail: the first favors a bibliographical study, focusing on the printing and circulation of books, while the second examines the literary side of printed books, focusing on the texts and the ideas within the printed books. Contributors include historians, literature scholars, bibliographers, and theologians. Distributed by Ashgate. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
