About this Item

Presumed original vellum over original binding, missing a large piece front cover, binding and covers detached from bound leaves. Internals quite nice. The Mart� printing and bookshop business began in 1700, when Joan Pau Mart�, her husband, acquired the printing press from Sebasti� de Cormellas , whose family, in turn, had bought the Humbert Gotart printing press in 1591. The Joan Pau's widow, Maria, runs the workshop between 1723-1737. The theme of the published books is fundamentally religious. The most splendid period of the Impremta Mart� corresponds to the one run by the widow of her son Maur, Maria �ngela (1754-1770), helped by the master printer, Antoni Rovira. Despite continuing to publish religious books, of which she published 130 titles, Maria �ngela printed the exemplary Novels of Mar�a de Zayas (1764) and cookbooks such as Francisco Mart�nez Monti�o, Arte de cocina, pasteleria, vizcocheria y conservaria(1763). The printing house was renamed Oliver Mart� when Ign�sia, daughter of Maria �ngela i Maur, married the Barcelona bookseller Francesc Oliver; and changes its name again when a granddaughter of Maria �ngela, daughter of the Oliver Mart� marriage, marries the Zaragoza bookseller Valerio Sierra. With the name Sierra i Mart�, the printing press and bookshop remained active until the first third of the 19th century . The Reserve Library of the University of Barcelona preserves more than 150 works published by Maria �ngela Mart� as well as several examples of her printer marks, which she identified throughout her professional career. (Source: Wiki) Only in the city of Barcelona throughout the eighteenth century do we find other names of women printers: Maria and Teresa Mas Llach , Teresa Pou and Eul�lia Massi� and our biographer, Teresa Mas Llach.

Store Description

Johnnycake Books trades in rare and collectible books of most kinds, principally in fields of literature, illustrated, childrens, architecture/design, gardening and photography. We try to offer books that are a little unusual, offbeat and unexpected: most have a strong visual or design appeal. Our descriptions present our inventory as creatively and colorfully as possible, with occassional editorial commentary. We regard condition of our books as critical to our service: most are very good or better, in collectible condition. We are generally conservative in describing a book, even if that means it doesn't sound as good as it actually might be. We welcome your comments directly at johnnycake@snet.net or visit our website www.johnnycakebooks.com. Best wishes in your book collecting. Dan Dwyer
