Formation and Relocation of European Libraries in the Confessional Age (c.1500 ̵c. 1650) and Their Afterlife
This book is about the creation, relocation, and reconstruction of libraries between the late Middle Ages and the Age of Confessionalization, that is, the era of religious division and struggle in Northern Europe following the Reformation and Counter–Reformation in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. At the time different creeds clashed with each other, but it was also a period when the political and intellectual geography of Europe was redrawn. Centuries–old political, economic, and cultural networks fell apart and were replaced with new ones. Books and libraries were at the centre of these cultural, political, and religious transformations, frequently taken away as war booties and appropriated by their new owners in distant locations.

The protestant reformation was critical to the efflorescence of printing in England between 1547 and 1553. Celyn David Richards explores English print culture during this turbulent period, as an official programme of reform, new censorship dynamics and increasingly sophisticated commercial relationships contributed to the trade’s rapid expansion. Edward VI’s reign saw unprecedented levels of religious print production, London’s first publishing syndicate, and a climate of protestant ascendancy which helped English print culture to make up ground on its continental counterparts.

Moritz Retzsch's Prints in Circulation
In a new approach to Goethe's “Faust I”, Evanghelia Stead extensively discusses Moritz Retzsch's twenty-six outline prints (1816) and how their spin-offs made the unfathomable play available to larger reader communities through copying and extensive distribution circuits, including bespoke gifts. The images amply transformed as they travelled throughout Europe and overseas, revealing differences between countries and cultures but also their pliability and resilience whenever remediated.
This interdisciplinary investigation evidences the importance of print culture throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in nations involved in competition and conflict. Retzsch's foundational set crucially engenders parody, and inspires the stage, literature, and three-dimensional objects, well beyond common perceptions of print culture's influence.

De gedrukte kaarten van waterschappen en polders tot 1870
Dit rijk geïllusteerde biedt voor het eerst een compleet overzicht van alle gedrukte polder- en waterschapskaarten tot 1870. Watermanagement in deze vorm,het droogmaken van meren en verkavelen van natte gronden, die vaak ook nog onder zeeniveau liggen, is al eeuwenlang iets typisch Nederlands. Verantwoordelijk daarvoor waren de waterschappen, die ervoor zorgen dat het land niet onder water komt te staan en daarom dijken en zeeweringen bewaken en verbeteren. Zij konden – en kunnen – hun werk niet doen zonder kaarten, waarop precies staat welke polders en welke waterlopen er in het gebied zijn. Ook waren kaarten onontbeerlijk voor het inpolderen van meren en plassen. Lang van tevoren werden plannen gemaakt voor zo’n inpoldering.Veel van die plannen zijn niet uitgevoerd. Overzichtskaarten van waterschappen werden niet alleen als gebruikskaart gemaakt, maar als representatie van het waterschap. Deze kaarten zijn vaak overdadig versierd en vrijwel altijd voorzien van de wapenschilden van de bestuurders, zoals de dijkgraaf en (hoog)heemraden.
Bijna 375 kaarten van waterschappen, polders en droogmakerijen – zowel niet uitgevoerde plannen als gerealiseerde polders – worden hier beschreven en geanalyseerd. Met meer dan 900 afbeeldingen worden alle kaarten in kleur, vaak met details die specifieke kenmerken laten zien. Deze cartobibliografie is deel 22 van de Explokart reeks onder leiding van de staf van het onderzoeksprogramma in de geschiedenis van de kartografie bij Allard Pierson aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam.

Editor-in-Chief:
This series offers comprehensive reference resources for scholars and students working in, or who want to familiarize themselves with map history. The series provides in-depth scholarly articles on the main topics in the field. Brill Research Perspectives in Map History contributes to a better understanding of the field with original and reliable essays about traditional as well as innovative topics about different genres of maps from all periods and cultures from an interdisciplinary point of view. While the series is open to new subjects, it will be focused on “non-current” cartifacts and mapping processes, i.e. historical maps and mappings, the history of cartography and other related topics, which might include their influence or impact on our present days.
If you are interested in writing a Research Perspective, or would like to know more, please get in touch with either the Editor-in-Chief Carla Lois, or the Publisher at Brill Alessandra Giliberto.

This series on the history of cartography is prepared under the direction of the Research Program Explokart, currently located at the University of Amsterdam.
The research program Explokart ("Exploration and accessibility of Dutch cartographic documents, 16th-20th century") is dedicated to making an inventory, description, and facsimiles of Dutch wall maps, topographical maps, sea charts, hydrographical maps, and globes. The aim of Explokart is to offer guidance to the users of old maps.
The research results of the volunteers of Explokart have resulted in the modern publication series Explokart Studies in the History of Cartography. It is aimed at both researchers and laymen with an interest in these matters.

This is a new series with an average of two volumes per year.

Editor:
This new series publishes high quality philological editions of a selected number of influential works or authors forbidden by the Iberian Inquisition, or challenging the idea of an Imperial Spain/Portugal. The volumes are all accompanied by studies by leading scholars in the field. An important criterion for inclusion in the series is that the chosen text is either unpublished or does not have a modern, scholarly edition. As such, the series presents a highly innovative content. The series will reflect the cultural and intellectual production of all Iberian authors, Jewish and Morisco authors, but also of reformers and/or Catholic authors who challenged prevalent religious, political, or literary discourse.
The series has published one volume since 2014.

Series Editor:
This is a peer-reviewed series that explores the ways in which industrialization has shaped the production, distribution, and reception of books from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present day. This period is marked by the introduction of new technologies – not just of manufacture, but also of transportation and communication – that have profoundly altered the ways that books are created and circulated and that have, among other things, enabled the rise of international publishing conglomerates that can reach a global mass market. The series investigates every aspect of the book in the industrial world, from the reorganization of the book and publishing trades to the present impact of digital texts and the internet.
