Printing the Event
Description
Printing the Event examines the use of print in the first decades after its invention. It analyzes how in this period print was used not only as a method to reproduce texts but also as a new medium to share news and ideas about current events. Focusing on the German-speaking territories and Italy, the volume aims to shed further light on the initial stages of a medium destined to have a wide-ranging impact on human history.
