The Early Oxford Press: A Bibliography of Printing and Publishing at Oxford, '1568' 1640, With Notes, Appendixes and Illustrations (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Spanning over two centuries, this meticulously detailed work charts the ebbs and flows of printing output at Oxford University, one of the Western world's longest-running and most influential academic institutions. A joint project between the Delegates and Contributory Fund of the Oxford University Press and the Oxford Historical Society, this work reignites interest in the first 140 years of the press's output. It follows on from the groundbreaking studies produced by Falconer Madan at the turn of the 20th century and builds on the most up-to-date scholarship. The work is divided into two parts. The first explores the book production in Oxford from the late fifteenth century to the early sixteenth. The second charts the story of the Oxford University Press from its formation via letters patent in 1585 to 1640. Key printers such as Joseph Barnes, the official printer to the University, and John Lichfield, who produced the first Oxford Greek New Testament, are profiled. Filled with illustrations, including examples of typefaces and title pages, this is an indispensable volume for those interested in the history of typography, printing, illustration and book production, as well as institutional publishing in the early modern period. Oxford's story – with its intriguing beginnings and early financial struggles – offers remarkable insight into the history of both the book and the university through the ages.
