Peter Schoeffer:
Printer of Mainz

This catalog of the exhibition marking the 500th anniversary of Peter Schoeffer's death "focuses on a single printer, rather than a genre, period, or broader aspect of cultural history," as Valerie Hotchkiss notes in her foreword. It is intended for serious students of the history of books and printing as well as readers merely wishing to acquaint themselves with the second most important figure in the history of the printed word. It includes a preface by Paul Needham, covers the life and work of Peter Schoeffer through the eight sections of the exhibition, and contains forty breathtaking images of items displayed in the exhibit.

Peter Schoeffer: Printer of Mainz, a catalog of the exhibition curated by Eric Marshall White. Bridwell Library, Dallas, Texas, 2003. 93 pp., 41 illus., $30.00 (plus shipping and handling).
