Bible as Book, The : The First Printed Edition
Outline: The second volume in the series, The Bible as Book, deals with the effect of early printing on the text, format and use of the Bible, and investigates the unique features of various editions of fifteenth-century printed Bibles as well as the social, political, and technological circumstances under which these publications were produced. This volume represents a gathering of research by scholars from many fields and disciplines. In addition to the Vulgate, the first editions of the Greek and Hebrew Bible as addressed, as well as the great polygots, vernacular versions, and the absence of Bibles from the output of English presses. It offers new findings on the topic of page format and the evolution of readers' aids in the study of both the biblical text and its glosses. Other topics include blockbooks, readers' emendations, and the relationship of Bibles produced in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries to the ideological environment of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation.
