Publisher's Synopsis
Annales Typographici est opus magnum Michaelis Maittaire, eruditi Britannici, quod historiam artis typographicae ab origine usque ad annum M. D. (1719) complectitur. In hoc volumine, Maittaire multas bibliographicas et historicas observationes et annotationes exhibet, quae de typographia, libris et scriptoribus, qui ea produxerunt, tractant. Annales Typographici sunt opus multivolumen, quod in quattuor tomis editum est. In tomo primo, Maittaire de origine typographiae, et de libris impressis ante annum 1500, disserit. In tomo secundo, de typographia in Italia, Hispania, et Gallia, scribit. In tomo tertio, de typographia in Germania, Anglia, et aliis regionibus Europae, tractat. In tomo quarto, de typographia extra Europam, et de typographis, qui in seculo decimo septimo et decimo octavo floruerunt, loquitur. Annales Typographici sunt opus fundamentale, quod ad historiam librorum et typographiae pertinet, et quod usque hodie valde laudatur.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
