Jeroen Salman and Andrea van Leerdam, eds., Glossary of Early Modern Popular Print Genres (Utrecht University, 2023), link»

This glossary describes popular print genres of the early modern period (ca. 1450–1850) from a European perspective, covering terms in English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. It is being developed as part of the project The European Dimensions of Popular Print Culture (EDPOP), led by Dr Jeroen Salman at Utrecht University. The glossary is by no means exhaustive, but is intended to offer an overview of the concepts used in several European countries by experts in the field, as an aid to further research and to offer a state-of-the-art vocabulary for cataloging early modern popular printed materials. As a ‘work-in-progress’, it appears only online, to allow for easy updating. We invite all experts in the field to continue sending us corrections and additions.
