Printing in provincial France has not attracted the same interest as the main centres of print. Using archival as well as printed sources, this book provides a groundbreaking new understanding of the development of printing in the provinces. Though printing in Brittany started during the incunabula period, the presses disappeared in the first decade of the sixteenth century. This work analyses the role of booksellers during these critical years and examines the business models that enabled the presses to return to the duchy. It also looks at issues such as ownership of books, Protestantism and the effect of the wars of the Catholic League as well as offering a much expanded bibliography of editions printed in the duchy.

Malcolm Walsby, Ph.D. (2001) in History, is a lecturer at the University of St Andrews. He has co-edited bibliographies on French and Netherlandish printing (6 volumes, Brill). He is the author of The Counts of Laval: Culture, Patronage and Religion (Ashgate, 2007).
