| ===== 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.\\ | |

| ===== Incunabula: Price Index ===== | |
| The Glasgow Incunabula Project references prices of books as actually recorded in the books, and also prices from other sources such as marked up booksellers' catalogues etc. Listed chronologically (earliest first) and then in shelf-mark order, differentiating between currencies: http://www.gla.ac.uk/services/incunabula/prices/. | |
