Dutch Typography in the Sixteenth Century: The Collected Works of Paul Valkema Blouw


Add your own review!

Overview

When compiling a short-title catalogue, Paul Valkema Blouw was confronted with a large number of 'problem cases'. By minute analysis and drawing from his extensive knowledge and his unrivalled typographic memory, he could attribute a surprising number of these publications to a printer and established the periods when and places where they must have been printed.The present collection of papers is of paramount importance to scholars engaged in research of the sixteenth century, whether in the field of church history, national history or book history.

Reviews

Paul Valkema Blouw (1916-2000) was one of the great bibliographers of the twentieth century. His work is an example of the painstaking craftsmanship essential to the recovery of the past. [...] In the investigation of the underground print culture of the Dutch Revolt, it is unlikely this work will ever be equalled or superseded. Valkema Blouw was a true pioneer: it is right that his extraordinary learning and influential insights should be honoured by this fine collection of his work. Andrew Pettegree, University of St Andrews. Valkema Blouw's essays will be of great importance for a long period . Willem Heijting, Amsterdam. In: Quaerendo, Vol. 45, nos. 1-2 (2015), pp. 157-162.
