Recovered Books: On the Contents and Fate of John Fowler’s Stock Left with Christopher Plantin

A comprehensive analysis of John Fowler’s book stock, left with Christopher Plantin in 1577, reveals previously overlooked details about the contents and fate of these works. The study identifies nine titles, some not cataloged before, and corrects misconceptions about their printing dates and circumstances. It also sheds light on the complex arrangements between booksellers during this period, enriching our understanding of the early modern book trade's economics and social operations.
