That brings us to the end of #USTC23! Thank you to all our presenters, chairs, conference participants and members of the USTC team for making this year’s conference a success. Big shout out to our co-organisers Ian Maclean, @A_der_Weduwen & @CullenBarnaby
Second day of the #USTC23.
In the second panel of the day @LauraIncolling2 delivers an excellent paper on the rivalry between two publishers in 16th-century Naples.
For the opening of the last panel of the day, the "venerable" USTC rare book scholar John Sibbald talks about a very peculiar way of publishing in early modern England: publishing by subscription.
