Print Publishing in Sixteenth-Century Rome: Growth and Expansion, Rivalry and Murder

This volume brings formal coherence to the overwhelming mass of prints published in 16th-century Rome. It is introductory in scope and does not attempt to include every print published by every publisher. The aim is to provide an overview of who was publishing what prints and when over the course of the sixteenth cenrury. The five chapters provide an outline of the history of print publishing while the appendices serve to clarify chronologies and reveal groupings and patterns.
