Abstract

Meserve's method of surveying all printed materials relating to such themes is moreover productive from a book historian's point of view - particularly for considering the question of I why i certain texts were printed. While Meserve thus contributes to challenging the view that the traditional religious authorities were hesitant to embrace printing, she nevertheless maintains that the papacy made less innovative use of printing compared to its opponents. Along the way, Meserve sheds new light on the cultural and political significance of printing and publication in this period. [Extracted from the article]
