The second volume of Dr Rhodes’ collection explores early printing in Western Europe beyond Italy, with a focus on England (London and Oxford), France, Germany, Spain, and the Low Countries. It highlights early book collectors in Western Europe, including Italian collections.


This second volume of Dr. Rhodes’ Studies covers the wider field of early printing in Western Europe outside of Italy. The spread of printing in England receives considerable attention, especially in the case of the London and Oxford presses. There are separate sections on printing in France, Germany, Spain and the Low Countries over this period. Of particular importance is the final series of articles on early collectors of printed books in Western Europe, which deals equally with the collectors and their libraries, including, in this case, the Italian collections.
