Early printing practice and printing technology in Cologne, 1465 - 1501 (Betreuung: Prof. Dr. Sabine von Heusinger, Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schmitz)
By means of collecting, analysing, comparing, and evaluating material evidence of Cologne incunabula I aim to determine: the relation between printing practices and printing technology used by 15th century printers, whether and how fifteenth-century printers in Cologne were employing similar – or different – printing practices, and how the transition from the one-pull press to the two-pull press is evidenced in this city.
The research method lies within analytical bibliography. Specialised techniques to analyse imposition, gathering structure and collation are being used, as well as a careful recording and examination of the handling of raw materials, most importantly paper.
