Stephan Füssel, Editor, Gutenberg-Jahrbuch 2019

摘要

Once again, the Gutenberg-Society has published its yearbook, this one for the year 2019. As usual, it is an impressive volume with a wide range of articles that address a variety of topics relevant for the history of the book and of book printing. This also entails, especially in the present volume, that a medieval manuscript is the topic of a long study. Otherwise, most contributions deal with early modern print shops or illustration programs of a special run of Bible prints. This makes it a little difficult to offer a concise review because the individual articles are not related with each other. This means that I cannot trace a common theme, apart from the global interest in books and printing, which, however, is altogether not surprising for a yearbook.
