Title A name given to the resource Réglement de la Confrerie de l'adoration perpétuelle du S. Sacrement, et de la bonne mort : erigée dans l'eglise paroissiale de Ville-Marie, en l'Isle de Montréal en Canada Description An account of the resource Published by Fleury Mesplet (1734-1794), this physically tiny work would be the first work printed by Mesplet after his arrival in Montréal in 1776. After leaving Lyon for Avignon, London and Philadelphia, Mesplet settled in Montréal on the recommendation of Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790}, with whom he had collaborated on printing ventures for the American Congress. Mesplet’s luggage contained the first non-governmental press to be established in the “Province of Québec”. Mesplet published many utilitarian works, with this title being distributed to members of the Confrerie, who could boast a membership of 1000 in late-18th century Montréal. Mesplet would go on to found the La Gazette littéraire with journalist Valentin Jautard (1736-1787) (known by the pseudonym “le Spectacteur tranquille”) in 1778, but both would be thrown into prison without trial, which would put an abrupt end to their literary adventure. The wife of Mesplet, Marie Maribeau,(1746-1789) would take over the publishing reins during his imprisonment. Mesplet would establish the Gazette de Montréal in 1785, which would be bought by an Anglophone editor, eventually becoming the Montreal Gazette.

This work carries over the medieval practice used by manuscript copyists, that is, the ruling of spaces in the text in preparation for script to be recopied. These lines are unnecessary for the typesetting and printing processes, but it is an aesthetic acknowledgement of the printing technique used by medieval scribes.

Title A name given to the resource I dilettevoli sermoni, altrimenti satire, e le morali epistole, insieme con La poetica [...] Description An account of the resource A Venetian, Gabriele Giolito de Ferrari (1508-1578), established a bookstore and printing shop in Venice with his father, named “Liberia del Fenice” (the Phoenix bookstore). As we have seen with other printer’s devices, the mark may illustrate the locale or name of the shop or of the printer. Giolito de’ Ferrari’s mark depicts a Phoenix (i.e. Fenice) rising from the fire below. Giolito’s motto is “Semper eadem”, which translates as “Always the same”. It describes, most certainly, the fate of the Phoenix, which rejuvenates itself on a perpetual basis, but, perhaps, also the nature of printing: but for the wearing out of type, a text can be printed in relative perpetuity once set.

Title A name given to the resource Le Nouveau Testament de Nostre Seigneur Jesus Christ, traduit en François selon l'edition Vulgate, avec les differences du Grec Description An account of the resource This book offers a typical example of the classic formula of “promise” and “reward” that one regularly finds in books of the 15th and 16th centuries. The phrasing varies as per the personality and humour of the owner and how much value he assigns to his book. Certain owners promise blessings or rewards to those who return his property in cases of loss, as is the case here with citizen Jean-Baptiste Fortin le Jeune, who will “pay a reasonable reward”. Others seem more vindictive, promising eternal damnation to anyone who dares to not return his property.
