"Joseph A. Dane's What Is a Book? is an introduction to the study of books produced during the period of the hand press, dating from around 1450 through 1800. Using his own bibliographic interests as a guide, Dane selects illustrative examples primarily from fifteenth-century books, books of particular interest to students of English literature, and books central to the development of Anglo-American bibliography. Part I of What Is a Book? covers the basic procedures of printing and the parts of the physical book--size, paper, type, illustration; Part II treats the history of book-copies--from cataloging conventions and provenance to electronic media and their implications for the study of books. Dane begins with the central distinction between a "book-copy"--the particular, individual, physical book--and a "book"--the abstract category that organizes these copies into editions, whereby each copy is interchangeable with any other. Among other issues, Dane addresses such basic questions as: How do students, bibliographers, and collectors discuss these things? And when is it legitimate to generalize on the basis of particular examples? Dane considers each issue in terms of a practical example or question a reader might confront: How do you identify books on the basis of typography? What is the status of paper evidence? How are the various elements on the page defined? What are the implications of the images available in an online database? And, significantly, how does a scholar's personal experience with books challenge or conform to the standard language of book history and bibliography? Dane's accessible and lively tour of the field is a useful guide for all students of book history, from the beginner to the specialist. "Written with wit and acuity, Joseph A. Dane's What Is a Book? extends his project of teaching aspects of book history to the specialist and nonspecialist reader alike. Both will be stimulated and provoked by what Dane writes, and will also enjoy his arguments and admire the breadth and depth of his knowledge." --Henry Woudhuysen, University College London"--

"A Guide to early printed books and manuscripts" provides an introduction to the language and concepts employed in bibliographical studies and textual scholarship as they pertain to early modern manuscripts and printed texts. Based almost exclusively on new primary research, it explains the complex process of viewing documents as artefacts, showing readers how to describe documents properly and how to read their physical properties. It demonstrates how to use the information gleaned as a tool for studying the transmission of literary documents. It makes clear why such matters are important and the purposes to which such information is put. It features illustrations that are carefully chosen for their unfamiliarity in order to keep the discussion fresh.

Ce répertoire analytique de la littérature de voyage imprimée en français depuis Les Singularitez... d'André Thevet (1558) jusqu'à l'anonyme Histoire de la campagne de Madagascar pour les soldats par un soldat (1896) a l'ambition d'être un instrument utile à tout indianocéaniste désireux de se positionner en tant que tel mais aussi à tout chercheur en sciences humaines à l'heure où la traversée des espaces et le contact des cultures occupent une place privilégiée dans l'histoire des mentalités. L'introduction générale présente une synthèse des derniers développements sur la problématique du voyage, puis sur les rapports du regard de l'autre et de l'indianocéanisme. Elle met ainsi au jour l'existence d'un réseau Océan Indien dont les axes porteurs sont à la f ois les mêmes (voyages, vérités et mensonges...) et autres (l'identité indianocéaniste) que dans les derniers apports de la recherche mondiale. Dans le corps du répertoire, chaque notice recense les thèmes et localise l'ouvrage référencé. L'ensemble s'accompagne de trois index auteurs, titres et thèmes et se complète d'une bibliographie générale sur la question du voyage. Cette Chr onobibliographie... contribue ainsi à continuer les classiques Boucher de la Richarderie, Ternaux-Compans, Grandidier et Roda sur les ouvrages anciens concernant le voyage.
