Print, manuscript and the search for order 1450-1830

Print, Manuscript and the Search for Order, 1450-1830 re-examines fundamental aspects of what has been widely termed the printing revolution of the early modern period. david McKitterick argues that many of the changes associated with printing weren only gradually suggested. From the 1450s onwards, the printed word and image became familiar in most of Europe. For authors, makers of books, and readers, manuscript and print were henceforth to be understood as complemnents to each other, rather than alternative.
