Author Description

Some Early Printers And Their Colophons is a book written by Joseph Spencer Kennard and published in 1901. The book is a collection of essays about the history of printing and the colophons (an inscription at the end of a book or manuscript) used by early printers. The essays cover a wide range of topics, including the history of printing in Europe, the development of printing techniques, and the role of printers in the dissemination of knowledge during the Renaissance. Kennard also provides detailed analyses of the colophons used by early printers, offering insights into the printers' personalities, their working methods, and the cultural and political contexts in which they worked. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of printing history, as well as anyone interested in the history of books and the spread of knowledge in the early modern period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
