Synopsis
During the first half of the 16th century, three generations of the Cromberger family dominated printing in Seville - at a time when that city was Castile's largest centre of population and book-production, and the hub of trade with the newly discovered Americas. Based on extensive research, this is the study of a major Spanish 16th-century printing house. Dr Griffin's account of the Cromberger press, from which came many influential works, provides insights into contemporary culture and reading habits, and establishes the Crombergers' significance in Renaissance culture and for the history of printing in Europe and the Americas. Also described are the family's wider commercial interests, which ranged from European trade to financing voyages of discovery and investing in Mexican silver-mines. Students of Spanish culture and history, of the Renaissance, and of the history of printing; librarians, bibliographers and antiquarian booksellers should be interested to this book.
