Jan Moretus and the continuation of the Plantin Press

About this book

The Plantin Press was one of the best known publishers and printers of the 16th century. In many ways, this bibliography builds on and follows Leon Voet's well known publication 'The Plantin Press'. This bibliography of Jan Moretus I, Christopher Plantin's successor, documents the activities of the Plantin Press during the years 1589 till 1610. It contains descriptions of his own editions and other works printed by him. This extensive bibliography contains 704 descriptions of the Jan Moretus editions and lists over 500 announcements that he printed for the city of Antwerp.
