Vignette ARMA LS4
Le format de l'image est incompatible

This lesson plan introduces post-secondary students to the medieval printed book trade in the late Middle Ages, focusing on the editing and manufacturing process, the book market, as well as how the physical appearance of the page evolved over time. Students will learn to navigate available digitized collections (such as Europeana and Gallica) to gain access to these books and consult them in detail. The aim of this activity is to come into contact with the first printed books (incunabula) up until the year 1500 and beyond, in order to understand their physical qualities, their commercial value and the ways in which they imitated the appearance of the medieval manuscript and evolved with the trade, developing into the modern book.
