Abstract
This paper was delivered by Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie as the Creighton Lecture for 1997 at the University of London, England. The writing of it is the common work and study of Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie, Anette Smedley-Weill, and André Zysberg. But the basic research was implemented by a team of four historians: Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie (Collège de France), André Zysberg (Université de Caen), Anette Smedley-Weill (CNRS) and Yann Fauchois (BNF). The present study utilizes the records of the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, to chart the development of French printing from its beginnings. Seven graphs chart the growth of French printing up to 1960; the text will concentrate on the period before 1871.
