Summary

A comprehensive bibliography of works published and printed by Jan Moretus I (1543–1610) at the Plantin Press in Antwerp, following Christopher Plantin's death in 1589, has been compiled by Dirk Imhof. This work builds on Leon Voet's earlier bibliography of Plantin's publications, providing a detailed record of Jan Moretus I's output during his tenure (1589–1610). The study focuses on the continuity and evolution of the Plantin Press under Moretus' leadership, offering insights into 16th-century printing practices, typography, and publishing trends. Imhof's bibliography serves as a valuable resource for scholars studying the history of printing, book production, and the cultural significance of the Plantin-Moretus House-Workshops-Museum Complex.
