Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book shines a light on a medieval tradition known as the Depositio Cornuti Typographici, a bizarre play performed throughout Germany to mark a young printer's transition into adulthood. It explores the Depositio's unique blend of ritualism, mock baptism, and humorous humiliation, capturing a fascinating glimpse into the social and professional customs of early printing and publishing. This book analyzes the play's probable origins in ancient purification ceremonies, and places it within the broader context of similar rites of passage practiced by other trades and professions in medieval Europe. By examining the text of the play and exploring its historical backdrop, the author uncovers the hidden meanings and symbolism embedded in this curious custom. Understanding the Depositio Cornuti Typographici not only sheds light on the lives of early printers but also reveals the profound influence of medieval traditions on the development of modern publishing. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282980047_0
