About this title

Synopsis

This book delves into the early history of printing. It begins by examining the development of printing in Haarlem, Germany, before discussing Johannes Gutenberg's later innovations in Mainz. The author questions the traditional narrative of Frederick Corsellis as the first English printer and argues that an unknown Oxford printer produced works a decade earlier. The book also explores the role of William Caxton in the history of printing, particularly his work at Westminster Abbey. The author concludes by discussing the significance of printing in the development of knowledge and the spread of ideas.
