Description

"Of the leading print centres in early modern Europe, Wittenberg was the only one that was not a major centre of trade, politics, or culture. This monograph examines the rise of the Wittenberg printing industry and analyses how it overtook the Empire's leading print centres. It investigates the workshops of the four leading printers in Wittenberg during Luther's lifetime: Nickel Schirlentz, Josef Klug, Hans Lufft, and Georg Rhau. Together, these printers conquered the German print world"--
Item Description:"This book is the result and expansion of my doctoral thesis submitted at the University of St Andrews on 31 October 2017, the date commemorating the quincentenary of Martin Luther's 'Ninety-Five Theses' and the Protestant Reformation." (Acknowledgements, Seite VII)
