| Sumari: | Lyon acquired its first printing press in the early 1470s. In the space of fifty years, the printing press revolutionised libraries, book production, and the perception of books in the city. What did books look like at that time, whether manuscript or printed? How were books produced? Who owned them, and how were they preserved, exchanged, and passed on?By the end of the 15th century, the city had become Europe's third-largest printing centre, with numerous workshops relying on Lyon's fairs to export their products across the continent. Serving as a base for shipments to Italy, it was also a major hub for producing richly illuminated manuscripts for the Lyonnais and the French court for several decades. However, in 1520, fifty years after the arrival of printing in Lyon, the manuscript seemed to have lost the battle definitively.Historian Jean-Benoît Krumenacker's book begins by immersing us in the world of manuscripts, which was well established before the advent of printing. He explores the libraries and the books preserved, used and passed on by the people of Lyon and the city's churches. The production of books, both manuscripts and prints, along with the entire book economy in Lyon is then examined, as well as the circumstances that enabled printing to take root and flourish in the city |
