Title A name given to the resource Bartoli da Saxoferrato Prima super Infortiato Description An account of the resource English The pages that serve to form the inner boards of this work are actually composed of printer’s waste : printed sheets that could not be used by the printer or binder in a final copy. Boards of this nature were created by gluing several sheets of paper together, offering a lighter form of cover than the boards of thick wood which were generally used in this era. Here we see a sheet that has come straight from the printer’s press; it has not been folded or cut into a gathering, allowing us to infer it is printer’s waste and not something salvaged from a previously bound book. This sheet was probably from a “trial run” of the printer’s; the first printings from an imposition would be verified in order to see that no typographical or other errors were to be found in the setting of frame of type. Anything that did not pass would be recycled. Français Les pages qui servent à composer les plats de cet ouvrage sont en fait des retailles de documents imprimés. On collait ensemble plusieurs feuilles afin de créer un plat solide mais plus léger que les ais de bois, géné́ralement utilisées à la même époque. Ici, on peut voir une feuille imprimée tout droit sortie de la presse puisqu’elle n"a pas encore été pliée ou coupée pour former le cahier. Il s’agit probablement de pages d’essai. Souvent les premières pages imprimées permettaient de vérifier qu’il n’y avait pas de coquilles ou de problèmes avec la mise en page.

Title A name given to the resource Canzoniere Description An account of the resource English This image depicts the bookplate of Bernard Coleridge, 2nd Baron Coleridge. If the name Coleridge sets off the ringing of bells, it should, as Bernard’s grandfather was the nephew of famed English Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834). While it cannot be proven that the book was handled by the famed poet, an inscription the inner flyleaf does say “bought in Padua” in 1814, which was during Samuel’s lifetime. The bookplate depicts what is surely the Coleridge’s family library in Chanter’s House, Devon, England. Français On peut voir ici l’ex-libris sous forme de vignette de Bernard Coleridge, 2e Baron Coleridge. Si le nom Coleridge vous semble familier c’est que le grand-père de Bernard Coleridge était le neveu du fameux poète romantique Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834). Bien qu’on ne puisse prouver que ce livre soit passé entre les mains du célèbre poète, une inscription sur l’une des pages de garde indique « acheté à Padoue en 1814 », soit à l’époque où vivait Samuel Coleridge. La vignette est très certainement celle utilisée pour identifier les livres de la bibliothèque de la famille Coleridge à Chanter House, dans la ville de Devon en Angleterre.

Title A name given to the resource Utopia Description An account of the resource English William Morris (1834-1896), product of an upper-middle class upbringing of the 19th century, was actually a socialist with a great reverence for the skilled craftsman whose output was a product of labour done by hand, rather than that of mass-produced mechanization. Disgruntled with the uniform and shoddy artistic production of the Age of Industrialization of the London of his time, Morris looked back to the artists of the past for inspiration. A true Renaissance man if ever there was one, Morris was involved in almost every branch of the Arts : textiles, metal work, furniture making, architecture, stained glass, decorative arts, painting, literature, and indeed, book production. As with his other endeavours within the Arts, Morris turned to the pre-mechanized age for inspiration with book printing: the era of the hand-press. Morris founded the Kelmscott Press in 1891. All aspects of Kelmscott Press books were produced by hand : the paper, the binding, the pressing of an edition, and the fonts. Morris designed the fonts used at his Press himself, with Chaucer (designed for his magnum opus “The Kelmscott Chaucer”, Golden (designed for his printing of Voraigne’s Golden Legend) and Troy being his most famous. Français Issu des classes sué́rieures et instruites de Londres, William Morris (1834-1896) était un socialiste, grand amateur du travail manuel ré́alisé avec patience par les artisans, en réaction à l’industrialisation de la société londonienne de la seconde moitié du XIXe sècle. En véritable humaniste de la Renaissance, il s’est intéressé à̀ tous les arts : textile, métallurgie, fabrication de meubles, architecture, verrerie, arts décoratifs, peinture, littérature et bien sûr à la production des livres. Morris a fondé la Kelmscott Press en 1891 avec laquelle il allait produire des livres entièrement fabriqués à la main : le papier, l’impression, les caractères d’imprimerie, la reliure, etc. Il a d’ailleurs créé lui-même plusieurs polices de caractères dont les plus célèbres sont la police Chaucer créée spécialement pour l’édition des œuvres de Chaucer et le Golden, pour son édition de la Légende dorée de Voraigne.

Petit was a very prolific printer, and was said to have printed one-tenth of all books printed in Paris from approximately 1493-1530, that is, about 1000 titles. Petit also collaborated with a number of other printers, where they might print their works at his studio or he at theirs. Noted collaborations were with Josse Bade (1461-1535) (or Badius) and Thelmann Kerver (14...-1522). Petit’s device varies over time, but it is usually depicted as a shield containing his initials held up by two heraldic animals: usually lions, as is the case here; Archives and Special Collections has an example where the device is held up by two monkeys. Français Cet ouvrage de Saint-Thomas d’Aquin montre la marque de Jean Petit (14..-1533), un imprimeur prolifique qui est réputé avoir imprimé le dixième des publications produites entre 1493 et 1530 à Paris, soit près de 1000 titres. Petit aurait également collaboré avec plusieurs autres imprimeurs, dont Josse Bade (1461-1535) et Thelmann Kerver (14..-1522). La marque de Jean Petit a varié au fil du temps, mais la plus courante représente les initiales de Petit inscrites sur un bouclier soulevé par deux animaux.

Title A name given to the resource Dictionaire francoislatin, contenant les motz & manieres de parler francois, tournez en latin Description An account of the resource English Robert Estienne (1503-1559) was the second son of printer Henri Estienne. After his father’s death in 1520, he collaborated with his older brother François and Simon de Colines (whose printer’s device we see in another item on display in this cabinet). Estienne was renowned for being one of the most erudite of his century, notably being named royal printer for Hebrew and Latin. Robert’s device is that of a serpent wrapped around an olive tree, alluding, most likely, to the tree of knowledge. However, there is a more personal meaning hidden within the device, perhaps something of an “in joke”, the Estienne printing shop was on Rue St-Jean-de-Beauvois in Paris, “at the sign of the Olive”. The motto contained within the device reads “Noli altum sapere, sed time” (“Be not high-minded, but fear”), a quote which stems from St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans. Français Robert Estienne (1503-1559) était le second fils de l’imprimeur Henri Etienne. Après la mort de son pè̀re en 1520, il a collaboré avec son frère aîné François et Simon de Colines. Il est reconnu comme l’un des plus éminents savants de son sè̀cle. Il fut nommé́ imprimeur du roi pour l’Hébreu et le Latin. La marque de Robert Estienne représente un serpent enlaçant un olivier. Si l’arbre fait penser à l’arbre de la connaissance, le clin d’œil à l’enseigne d’Estienne « au signe de l’Olivier » a sans doute joué sur ce choix. La devise « Noli altum sapere, sed time » est tirée de l’épître de Saint-Paul aux Romains et signifie « Ne t’abandonne pas à l’orgueil, mais crains ».
