 +===== Researching Print Runs =====
  
 +Many historians seeking to measure the impact of the ‘printing revolution’ in fifteenth century
 +Europe have taken a quantitiative approach, multiplying the total of all editions
 +by the number of copies in a typical edition. However, whereas the Incunable Short Title
 +Catalogue (ISTC) lists more than 28,000 fifteenth-century editions that are represented by
 +surviving specimens, the number of lost editions will always remain indeterminate. The
 +second factor in the equation – the typical or ‘average’ fifteenth-century print run – is just
 +as indeterminate as the first, if not more so. Inevitably, the ‘editions × copies’ formula
 +has produced estimates of fifteenth-century press production that range anywhere from
 +eight million to more than twenty million pieces of reading material. Such irreconcilable
 +results (in which the margin for error may be larger than the answer itself) only serve to
 +demonstrate that any effort to arrive at a meaningful quantification of fifteenth-century
 +press production will require a much more systematic analysis of the available data on
 +print runs. 
  
 +Eric White has conducted a study; a census of print runs for fifteenth-century books, which takes a step in that direction by asking a much more basic question: what is the available data?
  
 +Download Eric White's {{:resources:links_to_other_resources:printruns_intro.pdf|full introduction}} and {{:resources:links_to_other_resources:15cprintruns.pdf|database}} of 15th century print runs of incunabula.
