  • Books, Prints, and Travel: Reading in the Gaps of the Orientalist Archive
    BOOKS, PRINTS, AND TRAVEL: READING IN THE GAPS OF THE ORIENTALIST ARCHIVE ELISABETH A. FRASER Writing to Madame de Re´camier during an arduous voyage to the Levant in 1817 and 1818, the beleaguered Comte Auguste de Forbin pleaded passionately for letters from her to alleviate the horrors of his journey: a difficult passage at sea, the death of a hired travelling companion, heat and plague. ‘I need them, I have been cruelly tested. Never was a voyage more unfortunate,’ he wrote. Subse- quent letters describe his ‘terrible fear’ of the plague in Constantinople (‘death is everywhere’), and the ‘devouring heat’ of Egypt.1 And yet Forbin later made light of the journey’s difficulties in his published account, the Voyage dans le Levant (1819), a sentiment reinforced by Franc¸ois-Rene´ de Chateaubriand in his review: ‘The Comte de Forbin’s publication will finally prove that today one can do quickly and easily what in the past demanded much time and effort.’2 Similarly, the Comte Marie-Gabriel de Choiseul-Gouffier’s magnificent Voyage pittoresque de la Gre`ce (1782–1822), one of Forbin’s primary models, gives no hint of the woes that dogged its production: revolution, legal battles, work lost in transport, dishonest printers, artists making off with commissioned drawings, and so on. To follow Choiseul-Gouffier’s trail through the archives is to wade in rancour, regret and litigiousness to a degree unsuspected by the reader of his serenely beautiful Voyage pittoresque.3 In a departure from earlier writing on colonialism, scholars today expect to find this kind of contradiction in the accounts of European travellers about in the world.

On one hand, I am incredibly happy to see a brilliant and foundational work affordably back in print. On the other, I am a bit disgusted by the quality of the edition. The original edition of the English translation is a beautifully designed volume. The reissued edition features a blindingly white coated paper, and a puzzling insistence by Esri on using comically oversized Times New Roman typeface. The illustrations, however, have been better reproduced (and in some cases enhanced) from the earlier version. Apart from dealing with symbols, colors, and other graphic conventions, Bertin also discusses the uses of letters, labels, and visual hierarchies. Bildi Grafiks. Tempus Fugit.

  • History of the Book As a Research Topic in Croatia: a Brief Overview Nada Topić, Solin Public Library, Croatia Within the Croat
    History of the book as a research topic in Croatia: a brief overview Nada Topić, Solin Public Library, Croatia Within the Croatian research community an interest in the history of the book can be found in the areas of information sciences, the humanities, social sciences, and especially in history, literature, sociology, anthropology, and linguistics. Due to the high degree of interdisciplinarity, it is very difficult to offer a brief overview of the area or determine what elements should be included. This brief study will focus on the following components: the research community, university infrastructure, research projects and programs, conferences and summer schools, journals publishing articles on book history, academic monographs published to date, and recent doctoral dissertations. The book history research community in Croatia includes practitioners and theorists from various professional backgrounds, from librarians, information specialists, and museologists, to archivists, historians, literary historians, sociologists, linguists, and others. A number of steps precede the interpretation of historical material, including organization, restoration, preservation, and digitization. Connections and cooperation between all participants is therefore extremely important. Since 1996, in Croatia, the AKM (Archives, Libraries, Museums) annual conference has been held in Poreč and Rovinj in Istria. Many of the aforementioned participants meet at the conference to share their experience and progress, as well as to develop tools which allow,

Gross Originally presented as the keynote address for the Rare Books and Manuscript Pre­ conference on June 25, 1997, in Claremont, California. hen does an academic field begin? For the expanding specialty known as the history of the book, the landmarks are many: W • Major publications: Elizabeth Eisenstein’s The Printing Press as an Agent of Change and Robert Darnton’s The Business of Enlightenment, both appearing in 1979.1 • Intellectual centers: the Center for the Book at the Library of Con­ gress (1977) and the Program in the History of the Book in American Cul­ ture at the American Antiquarian Society (1983).2 • Encyclopedias and reference works: since the appearance in the 1980s of the multivolume Histoire de l’Edition, the French pioneer in the field, na­ tional book histories have been launched in the United States, England, Scot­ land, Wales, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Robert A. Gross, Forrest D.
