Glossary of Early Modern Popular Print Genres

This glossary contains the main genres and categories of print that are associated with European popular print in roughly the period 1500-1900. It is one of the outcomes of the project European Dimensions of Popular Print Culture (EDPOP), led by Dr Jeroen Salman, that aimed to establish an international network of scholars in this field. This project was financed by the Dutch Research Council (NWO). Thanks to a small grant of Utrecht University’s Datahub Social Sciences and Humanities the glossary could be completed in 2022-2023. Two Utrecht book historians, Andrea van Leerdam and Jeroen Salman, are responsible for this final edition, but they were strongly supported by European experts in the field. Below are all the names of the scholars who provided translations, suggestions, corrections and references. We are extremely grateful for their help. This glossary can therefore be considered a collective endeavour. The glossary will eventually also function as a vocabulary for a multifunctional Virtual Research Environment that aims to harvest, categorise, visualise and analyse bibliographical and biographical data related to premodern European popular print. This EDPOP VRE is currently being developed by the Research Software Lab of the Utrecht University assisted by Andrea van Leerdam and supervised by Jeroen Salman
