The contributing members of the Consortium of European Research Libraries present this union catalog of materials from Europe's multilingual print culture "hand press" period, from the 15th century to the 1830s.
This resource integrates descriptive records for major European national, university and research library holdings. Topics include intellectual history, social history, transmission of thought, and the history of printing and the history of the book. The Hand Press Book database includes citations for works in Latin, Middle French, and other archaic languages.
