In this period, the book was not yet a familiar object to its users; in linking the recycling of images solely to economic and practical exigencies, scholars have misconstrued this practice and its import for publishing and reading. Such recycling of woodcuts can be better understood as a way to familiarize and form readers at the very earliest moments of establishing economic and sociocultural viability for the early modern French printed book. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of French Historical Studies is the property of Duke University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
