Publisher's Note
This volume comprises essays presented at the 1996 Roanoke (Va.) International Conference on Watermarks, where chemists, engineers, experts in digital photography, book dealers, book collectors, librarians, literary scholars, cartographers, and historians discussed the evidence provided by watermarks and paper stocks. Topics include using watermarks and paper to determine dates, chronologies, and authenticity of musical and literary compositions; to conceptualize the printing process of a series of incunabla; and to examine the effects of European politics on a paper supply for early printing in the New World. Essays also cover the development and application of new technologies for the reproduction of watermarks, such as phosphorescence imaging, DYLUX, and digital imaging. Annotation c.
