Full textAbstract:
Judging by the more than ten companions and guides to the interdisciplinary field of book history published in the last two decades, the death of the book does not seem assured. This article explores recent book historical scholarship that takes energy from the “new” formalisms of the twenty-first century and attends to the range of forms (literary, material, institutional) constitutive of the “book.” In a field reckoning with its silences on Black and Indigenous books, and with its marginalization of books authored and printed by women, definitions of the book are becoming more capacious and nuanced. In the last decade, it is possible to detect two additional “turns” in book history: the first, toward environmental or ecological histories of the book and, the second, toward craft and practice. Experiential approaches to teaching book history are likewise gaining steam as new letterpress studios and book labs are established in college and university settings. Engaging students in critical making and processual research, such book labs allow for embodied learning about the labour and craft of hand-press book production.

Full textAbstract:
History text book is a historiography work for educational purpose. The historiography exposed in the history text book is definitely different from historiography of another scientific history book. The practical purpose of education becomes one of the important goals of composing the history text book. The history understood from history text book can do more than only developing the student’s historical awareness. The historical awareness can be detected in the attitude expressed by the students, such as their sense of nationality, partriotism, unity, willingness to sacrifice, etc. However, the history books composition, including the history text books, cannot avoid the spirit of the period it was written. According to the historiography development in Indonesia, the history text books has been written based on nederlandocentrism, indonesiacentrism, ideologism, and scientific, which are the result of how the spritit of a period affected the history text composition. This research analyse the historiography of history text books that are used in school, especialy in how these history text books appropriately reconstruct historical events with the spirit of a period and how it is composed based on scientific rules of history science.

What role does book illustration play in teaching book history, and how can libraries best support it? This article looks briefly at the lack of interest in book illustration as part of traditional historical bibliography and its increasing importance in the wider field of book history. Using the example of the London Rare Books School, an international summer school, it outlines the nature of the books needed and the extent to which a teaching collection may supply them. It further discusses how and why librarians and teaching staff can collaborate fruitfully to satisfy demand.

Full textAbstract:
Books are written sources of information that contribute to the history of civilization and culture. In certain periods of history books have been banned, destroyed, stolen, and removed for the personal interests of those responsible for their protection. The most effective and widespread way to destroy books has been to burn them. Incidents of book burnings that have happened for various reasons have mostly occurred in situations such as chaos and rebellion. Books have been burned in Athens, China, Jerusalem, England, Sarajevo, and Baghdad. The aim of this study is to examine the historical process and reasons for burning books through the events evoked by Fahrenheit 451 and stories of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Douglas Bradbury (1920-2012). Fahrenheit 451 is a novel in the science fiction genre. Accor ding to Bradbury, science fiction is also a sociological study of the future. The work stands out with the way it deals with social issues and people’s problems. Fahrenheit 451 builds a future based on a simple question: What if books were now just objects that were burned? Based on this question, it is necessary to emphasize that the book was written to prevent the feared situation from happening. Fahrenheit 451 is a book of warning. Bradbury envisions a future with advanced technology to stress that dependence on technology would change the structure of society and how people live as he fears that people will not read books in the future. In this study, information about books and book burning is given, based on the events in the Fahrenheit 451 novel and Fahrenheit 451 stories.

Full textAbstract:
This article considers how markers of place function differently in the print book ecosystem vs. the ebook ecosystem, using books associated with Australia and Western Australia as a case study. Although book historians have mostly failed to engage with ebooks as subject matter, they have considered in some detail the way in which markers of place function in the print book ecosystem. By surveying the scholarly output of book historians working with mapping technologies, it is possible to conclude that, in the print book ecosystem, there exist a handful of markers identifying the following categories: places associated with a book’s setting, its author, its publication, its purchase, and its marketing and publicity. The latter three markers look substantially different in the ebook ecosystem than in the print book ecosystem. Furthermore, in the ebook ecosystem, changes to these three markers can mediate setting and author as markers of place.

Full textAbstract:
The field of neurodiversity offers new ways to think about the history of the book and the history of reading. Because autistic individuals—especially those marked by “classical” symptoms—often report a strong reliance on physical objects and a pronounced tendency toward sensory engagement, their interests coincide with those of book historians and reception critics who investigate the embodied reading experience and the material aspects of the book. Indeed, the textual practices of autistic individuals can resemble those of bibliophiles, who often enjoy touching and smelling books. But autistic textual engagement occasionally takes singular forms, thereby pushing historians of the book into surprising new territory. For example, many classical autists attest to an intense intimacy and intercorporeity with the material book. In so doing they create opportunities for reflecting on the interdependence of the human and nonhuman worlds.

he scientific study of the history of the Estonian book began in the 1930s, and some essays published then have not lost their value up to the present. During this period, the fundamentals of book statistics and the first comprehensive history of the Estonian book by F. Puksoo were published. The attention of researchers was mainly concentrated on 16th-17th, and partly 18th-century publications. During the post-war period, there was no leading center for book study, and the research concentrated at the major libraries. The problems of book history and research were also studied in the Department of Bibliography, first at Tartu University and then at Tallinn Pedagogical Institute. In the 1960s, Estonian post-war book historiography achieved more serious results. Republican scientific conferences on book study became a significant factor in the development of book science. The opportunities for publishing improved significantly. The entire potential was used for the collective monograph about the history of the Estonian book, which commemorated the 450th anniversary of Estonian printed books in 1975. In the 1980s, researchers' attention was concentrated on the development of printing. During more than 50 years of study of books and book problems, a large body of factual material has been assembled and generalized. However, the development of the theoretical basis of the study of the Estonian book and the publication of research results is hindered by the lack of a center for scientific book study.

Ten years ago, in the introduction to his edited collection The Future of the Book, Geoffrey Nunberg predicted, “If we take the book in its broad sense to refer simply to bound, printed volumes, then most books will likely disappear soon.” Imagining the prospect of electronic books, of devices that would present text not just on a screen but on something “almost the equivalent of paper in [its] weight and flexibility,” Nunberg looked forward to a time when printed pages would no longer be the primary bearer of textual information (12). That time has not come. The e-book never seemed to make it, either as a viable technology or as an attractive commercial product. More bound and printed volumes are being made and sold than ever. And the history of the book as an academic discipline continues to grow—not out of a sense that books are history (in the colloquial sense of that phrase) but out of a conviction that they are here to stay and that to know their future we should know their past.

This study investigates two different ways of representing translation histories, namely, self-representation and other- representation. Moreover, this paper sheds some light on a part of the translation history during the Islamic golden age, specifically, the Abbasid Era. The current study analyzes two different books about the translation history during the Abbasid Era: O’Leary’s book (How Greek Science Passed to the Arabs, 1949) and Al-Khalili’s book (The House of Wisdom: How Arabic Science saved Ancient Knowledge and Gave Us the Renaissance, 2011). The purpose of the analysis is to gain a hint about how people write the history of translation and what factors, either cultural or ideological, interfered in shaping that history. Moreover, considering Al-Khalili’s book as an example of self-representation and O’Leary’s book as an example of other-representation should help in revealing types of convergences and divergences between these two books in representing translation history. The results of the analysis show that there were instances of convergences and divergences between these two books in representing translation history.

Abstract Samuel Ajayi Crowther, the Yoruba linguist and Anglican missionary bishop, interacted in the 1870s with communities of multilingual Islamic scholars on the north fringe of Yorubaland. This essay uses contemporary scholarship on the book culture of Ilọrin to shed light on Crowther’s letters, in particular his triumphant account of a formal audience with the emir of Ilọrin in 1872, during which his performance centred on the bilingual collection of Christian books he bore. He emphasized the uniqueness and novelty of his Christian books and their associated practices. Yet his accounts invite us to begin viewing Africa’s Christian and Islamic book histories through the same analytical frame, which reveals how they were constituted in part through their interactions. This allows us to see they had more in common than Crowther assumed and than many scholarly accounts of African book history assume, particularly in the areas of the physicality of books, the modes of performance associated with books, and the interpersonal transactions that books facilitate.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Book history has increasingly developed a cohesive view of the printing, selling, owning, reading and use of books, but bookbinding continues to struggle to find its place in the teaching and perception of the disciple. This is counter-intuitive, and a missed opportunity, in a world in which we talk so much about the book as a material object. This paper examines the reasons, and challenges many of the assumptions or beliefs that remain endemic in binding history. It offers examples of ways in which a different approach to binding studies is needed, while considering debates about the relative usefulness of methodologies based around decoration, or structure. It sets out a philosophy, or methodology, for the study of bindings in a book-historical context, with some basic questions which we should bring to any binding before us.

at the beginning of the XI-th century, the rich manuscript heritage of Central Asian scientists was widespread in Dagestan (the Republic of the North Caucasus). Among them, for example, were astronomical tables made by the famous Uzbek scientist Mirzo Ulugbek. Six copies of noble prophetic hadiths collected by Imam al-Bukhari were found in the mosque located in the Dagestan village Akusha. Al-Samarkandi’s work entitled “Treatise on Research Literature” was found in the personal library of Mr. Muhammad Said Saidov, which also indicated the name of the scientist Burhan ad-Din al-Numan al-Zarnuji, who lived in the city of Bukhara. There were also many books by Central Asian scientists and jurists, which became available for most scientists and noble rulers of Dagestan, and as a striking example of this, we find the message of the correspondence found in Arabic by the ruler of the medieval state formation of Zirekhgeran, which is currently called “Kubachi". There is also a book called al-Shamsiyya. This book was used to teach Arabic in many madrasahs in Central Asia. In the same letter, the author mentions the “Book of Beliefs” of the scholar Saad ad-Din al-Taftazani, which is the book about the explanations of (Nasafi) teachings, who lived at that time in the Uzbek city called Nasf, which today is called Karshi. At that time, this city was one of the largest centers of Islamic science in Central Asia.

Abstract Daniel Diez Couch’s American Fragments offers a scholarly analysis of the fragment, a mainstay of American print culture in the early national period. In American Fragments, Couch argues that fragments were central to both American aesthetics and American political culture. Insisting that the fragment was an inclusive and progressive form that invited readers to consider the relationship between a part and the whole, Couch shows how fragments helped Americans understand themselves and their place in a democratic republic. Couch’s book is deeply researched, and it provides insightful readings of well-known texts like Hannah Fosters’s The Coquette, Charles Brockden Brown’s Edgar Huntly, and Washington Irving’s Sketch Book while also introducing readers to a host of poems and other shorter writings that appeared in newspapers, periodicals, and gift books throughout the early nineteenth century. The original research in American Fragments is engaging, and it is also emblematic of a new wave of scholarship enabled by the widespread digitization of books and newspapers in that it introduces so many new texts that are difficult to connect to existing timelines and canons. In this respect, Couch’s book also reveals the limitations of the monograph as a tool for revisioning our collective scholarly project.[R]ight now, the scholarship pushing us to reimagine our literary past is running ahead of the forms in which it might be published.

In June 2023 in Murmansk at the All-Russian Library Congress: 27th Annual Conference of the Russian Library Association Murmansk State Regional Universal Scientific Library (MSRUSL) presented a new printed catalogue of book marks from the collection of rare books. The catalogue includes more than 400 Russian owner’s marks of the 19th — the first half of the 20th century, identified in the course of the research activities of the MSRUSL to study the history of rare editions. These are artistic (armorial, plot, monogram) and typographic ex-libris, applied to editions in the form of paper labels, stamp impressions, congeal embossing, super-ex-libris embossed on the spines of bindings, as well as handwritten inscriptions of owners on bookplates. Each mark included in the catalogue has an image and a detailed description. The bibliographic descriptions of books and magazines with book marks of 200 owners of private, public and departmental libraries will help to reconstruct disparate book collections, determine their composition and subject matter, and identify the reading interests of the former owners. The catalogue also provides brief biographical information about the owners and executors (authors) of the book marks with an indication of the sources used.Auxiliary indexes of library owners, their initials and abbreviations, book marks, executors of ex-libris, authors and titles of books, titles of periodicals and continuing editions allow you to quickly find the information you need. The list of used sources, which completes the catalogue, contains full bibliographic descriptions of printed publications and electronic resources.During 2023, specialists of the MSRUSL repeatedly made presentations on the book marks included in the edition at all-Russian conferences. In 2024 the library continues to open the pages of the printed catalogue: in the year of the 80th anniversary of the complete liberation of Leningrad from the blockade, books from the personal libraries of the besieged city residents deserve special attention. This article describes the ownership marks (stamps, inscriptions) on the blockade books belonging to M.N. Duvernois, A.N. Korkunova, A.B. Sakharov, S.I. Seleshnikov. Biographical information about the former owners of the books is given, the history of the appearance of the editions in the collection of the MSRUSL is revealed.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims at presenting the censorship of books and documents at the library from the first high school from southern Bucovina – Griechisch-orientalische kaiserlich-königliche Obergymnasium in Suczawa, a typical high school in which German was the tuition language, founded by imperial decree on the 30th of June 1860, today known as Colegiul Național “Ștefan cel Mare” from Suceava. This study is based on original archive documents, previous studies on the topic and documents from the school library. Relying on historical research approaches, the phenomenon of book censorship is analysed during all political regimes that succeeded in the nearly 160 years of existence of the school library. The paper points out to the restrictions imposed during the Austrian rule (1860-1918), the cleansing and even destruction of the most valuable books belonging to the Romanian heritage during the totalitarian regimes after the Great Union of 1918, the reorganization of the special collections, the restriction of the public accessibility to certain titles. This paper, alongside previous ones on the same topic, is meant to contribute to the understanding of the complex phenomenon of censorship in Romanian libraries.

Full textAbstract:
“The book” in its many guises today provides fertile ground for the study of the many disciplines and professions in which it has played a central part. Long recognized as significant as a carrier of text, the book has lately been seen also as an example of material culture. A consideration of the book’s physical properties and uses can provide new insights into the practices and unarticulated beliefs of a cultural community. Here we consider the potential of “the book” for insights into the study of religion. The focus is on “iconic” books, a subset of books that seems intuitively recognizable as a genre, but is variously understood by the writers of the essays in this collection. It is not only the nature of iconicity that begs for definition here, but also, more specifically, the specific aspects of “the book” that cause it to be recognized as iconic. Does its iconicity spring, for example, from the beauty of the copy? The primacy of the edition and printing? The provenance of the object? As “the book” gains attention, the subject cries out for specific, stable, shared terminology to allow meaningful discussion of its elements across disciplines and fields. Such terminology can be found in the field of Book History, a discipline that has its roots in the world of Gutenberg and continues to flourish in the internet age. This paper discusses terminology. It explores various approaches to defining “iconic,” it traces the evolution of the terminology of book history, and it presents a sample of particularly pertinent terms from that discipline to clarify future discussions of aspects of an “iconic book.”

Full textAbstract:
The present article is concerned with Lithuanian picture books from the period 1900 to 1930. A new term paveikslėlių knyga to specify this children's book genre has been introduced, which was not in wide use in Lithuanian book research before. In the late 19th century, picture books became popular in many countries such as Germany, England, and France. However, in Lithuania, due to extraordinary circumstances—namely, all publications in the Lithuanian alphabet being banned by the czarist government of the Russian Empire—there were very few children's books in circulation, and the art of book illustration could hardly be developed. The first Lithuanian picture books were published in some series (retold fairy tales, adaptations of classical literature, and instructive or didactic publications) by J. Zavadzki's printing house in 1909-1911 in Vilnius. They were illustrated with color lithographs brought from Germany (some of them could be from Poland), and the authors of these illustrations were unknown. From the end of the 19th century, the spread of illustrations in cheap mass production German picture books is characteristic of other East European countries as well (for example, Latvia and Poland). One very simple picture book written and illustrated by Lithuanian authors—P. Mašiotas and P. Kalpokas—appeared in 1913 in Riga. New opportunities for publishing children's books emerged when the Independent Republic of Lithuania was established. At first, in the early twenties, Lithuanian picture books again repeated the German editions. While Lithuania's printing technology was poor, many editions were set up and published in Germany. In the twenties, the company Kultūra made a significant contribution to the development of Lithuanian artists' picture books. This company established contacts with corresponding publishing houses in Munich, Mainz, and Leipzig, and published picture books with German artists’ (W. Bush, E. Osswald) illustrations. The company Kultūra published the Lithuanian fairy tale Eglė, žalčių karalienė (Eglė, the Queen of Grass Snakes) (Šiauliai, 1924), illustrated by Lithuanian painter K. Simėnas and printed in Leipzig. This large-format picture book is the very first Lithuanian fairy tale edition with color illustrations. Some artists' picture books were published in Germany in 1923 by the short-lived publishing firm Mala. Poet K. Binkis assisted with the translation. Mažylis karaliukas (The Little Prince) (Kaunas, 1923) by F. Ostyn, illustrated by H. Pellar, is distinguished for its high quality of color printing and artistic value. A very popular book was the Lithuanian edition of Struwwelpeter (Vaikai vanagai. Linksmos pasakos ir paveikslėliai, 1928) by H. Hoffmann, also translated by K. Binkis. The A. Ptašekas bookshop in Kaunas published especially many picture books during the period between the two world wars, but most of them featured imported German illustrations. The domestically illustrated Lithuanian picture books were increasingly published only in the thirties. The analysis of Lithuanian picture books shows that their development was not isolated from the books of the same genre published in other countries (especially in Germany) but involved many possible contacts with foreign publishing houses that had greater experience. Thus, they were able to gain general peculiarities of the genre and find their own way.

“‘Histoire du livre’”, remarked Robert Darnton in a much celebrated essay from 1982, “‘Geschichte des Buchwesens’…‘history of books’ or ‘of the book’ in English-speaking countries—its name varies from place to place, but everywhere it is being recognized as an important new discipline”. In the twenty-five years since Darnton's original observation book history has if anything continued to flourish. With a number of multi-volume national histories of the book now at various stages of completion, an international infrastructure of research centres, teaching programmes and publishers’ lists, quite clearly something has been happening.

Full textAbstract:
The article gives a brief characteristic of the Yusupovs’ book collection. The eighteenth century was the time when collecting got very popular in Russia. Book collections became the main part of the Russian aristocratic society collection and formed private rich collections. The library of Yusupovs’ princely family is an example of such book collection. The study of this matter involves certain difficulties because Yusupovs’ library was divided into several parts and kept in different palaces and country estates in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Spasskoe-Kotovo, Arkhangelskoe, Rakitnoe. It is known that Yusupovs’ library has consisted of about 60,000 of books, 400 of them belonged to the earliest Russian printed art. B. G. Yusupov and his wife I. M. Yusupova set up the traditions of book collecting. The Yusupovs’ library has enraptured his contemporaries. A. S. Pushkin visited this library. His monument was raised in Arkhangelskoe in the poet’s name. N. B. Yusupov inherited his grandfather’s interest in dramatic and music art, and replenished the collection with rare musical editions and claviers. He went down in history as a vice-director of the Imperial Public Library, its patron and the donator. Moreover, he wrote a book about the Yusupovs family history. Felix Yusupov inherited the writer’s talent from his grandfather N. B. Yusupov, and wrote two books. Studying the history of Yusupovs` book collection gives an idea of book and bibliographic culture development throughout the mid XVIII - early XIX centuries. Nowadays the library in Arkhangelskoe has a significant book collection, which is considered to be Russian national treasury.

Full textAbstract:
The expanding interest in book history over recent years has heralded the coming together of an interdisciplinary research community drawing scholars from a variety of literary, historical and cultural studies. Moreover, with a growing body of literature, the field is becoming increasingly visible on a wider scale, not least through the existence of the Society for the History of Authorship, Readership and Publishing (SHARP), with its newly founded journal Book History. Within the history of science, however, there remains not a little scepticism concerning the practical value of such an approach. It is often dismissed as an intellectual fad or as an enterprise which is illuminating but ultimately peripheral, rather than being valued as an approach which can offer major new insights within the field. This is no doubt in part because much of the most innovative work in history of science over recent years has been carried out by historians anxious to get away from an earlier overemphasis on printed sources. Eager to correct a profoundly unsocial history of ideas, usually rooted in texts, historians have looked increasingly to both the practices and the material culture of science. In such a context, a renewed focus on the history of books sometimes seems like a retrograde step, especially given the common misidentification of ‘books’ with ‘texts’. On the contrary, however, it is just such a twin emphasis on practices and material culture which also characterizes the new book history. Indeed, to the question ‘what is book history for?’ we might answer that its object is to reintroduce social actors, engaged in a variety of practices with respect to material objects, into a history in which books have too often been understood merely as disembodied texts, the meaning of which is defined by singular, uniquely creative authors, and is transparent to readers.

John Knox considered himself a preacher, not a writer of books. His History of the Reformation of Religion in the Realm of Scotland is an extended sermon on the duty of Scottish Christians to rely solely, obediently, and unflinchingly on God. The printed work contains five books, but Knox did not write Book 5. In Book 4, Knox made the point that the Lord authorizes and requires all Christians (even common subjects, when they are able to do so) to correct their rulers' religion and to compel them to obey God's commandments. For Knox, no more history was needed. His sermon was “compleat.”

Al-Mada'ini's method in his book "Futouh Khorasan"
 The book "Futouh Khorasan" for the great historian Ali bin Mohammed bin Abi Saif Al-Mada'ini (died 225AH/840AD) is regarded as one of the oldest books of conquers (Futouh) in Arabic, and the most important document talks about the history of Muslims at that early period. Despite the importance of its history in view that it is interested in military, administrative and political conditions, yet the book is one of the missing books from our lost heritage, and some of its texts remained within the folds of the late historical sources. We will study in this research the book "Futouh Khorasan" in terms of Al-Mada'ini's methodology in it as well as his style and his most important resources he relied on in his book. We divided this research into three sections, the first section dealt with Al-Mada'ini's method in his book "Futouh Khorasan", while the second section addressed the content of the book and the last section discussed the status of the book "Futouh Khorasan" among the books of conquers "Fotouh".

In A Nation and its Books (1998), numerous chapters emphasise the cultural impact of book collecting in Wales; however, apart from one entry, a history of women's book ownership is largely absent. This article seeks to redress this imbalance by providing an account of three women's libraries in Wales from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The records for these libraries provide statistical evidence about book-buying trends, as well as information about the materiality of the books, and the spaces they were housed in. Importantly, revisiting such collections helps differentiate and document women's cultural legacies through books in Wales.

Preserving the historical-cultural heritage is an actual problem of fundamental scientific research. A special place in this heritage is the book culture including libraries - state, public, private, personal ones. Book collections of scientists refer to the special section of libraries. A holistic view of the outstanding researcher book collections allows complementing and enriching ideas about the researcher creative laboratory, as well as providing additional materials on the history of science, book culture and, even widly, the history of Russia. The article is devoted to the collection of books from the library of a Russian physicist-chemist, Professor of the Physical Faculty of Moscow State University, Doctor of Chemical Sciences, V. K. Semenchenko, who is a major specialist in chemistry of thermodynamics, theory of electrolyte solutions, surface tension. This study is research continuation carried on in the Central Scientific Library of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (CSL UB RAS) to investigate scientific and cultural heritage of the Urals and Russi. The research methodological basis is modern concepts of the history of book business in a broad socio-cultural perspective using the following techniques: bibliographic, functional, analytical-thematic, paleographic, systematic, bio-bibliographic and others. The small collection of V. K. Semenchenko’s books (100 units) entered the collection of CSL UB RAS in 1993 under the mediation of Academician Vladimir Pavlovich Skripov, Director of the Institute of Thermophysics of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, who was a former student and postgraduate of V. K. Semenchenko. The composition of the book collection is represented in the chart. There are many works of famous scholars, Rus- sian and Soviet classics of science of the XX century (books included in Digital Library «Russian Scientific Heritage») in V. K. Semenchenko’s collection. 42 volumes of the library have autographs of their owner V. K. Semenchenko. The books have inscriptions of authors, friends and relatives addressed to V. K. Semenchenko. The book collection uniqueness is evident due to book «Theory of atom» by of V. K. Semenchenko presented to the library by the researcher’s daughter. The book page-proofs (layout) were done in 1941. This book remained in a single copy. Many books and authors of V. K. Semenchenko’s books collection are of interest in terms of studying the history of the world science development. Thus, studying the book collection of a physicists contributes to investigating the acquisition history and stocks composition of CSL UB RAS, book culture, Russian and world science, and, in general, into the country historical and cultural heritage preservation.

Introduction: The development of book printing in the Ming Dynasty went through a long process of accumulation and evolution. During the Song and Yuan dynasties, woodblock printing technology was already quite mature, laying the foundation for the prosperity of woodblock printing in the Ming dynasty. In the early Ming Dynasty, rulers attached great importance to culture and education, advocated the imperial examination system, and greatly stimulated the demand for books. At the same time, the economic recovery and urban prosperity have provided a vast market and sufficient financial support for the book publishing industry. Under the combined influence of these factors, the book printing of the Ming Dynasty ushered in a golden age. Objectives: This study takes the book carving industry in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) as the core research object, comprehensively examining the technological evolution, regional distribution, and social impact of the three major systems of official carving, private carving, and chamber carving. Through the methods of literature review, physical comparison, and interdisciplinary analysis, this study systematically examines the development of Ming Dynasty book carving, and combines existing first-hand materials such as Ming engraved editions, novels, and literati notes to focus on exploring the interactive relationship between the innovation of woodblock printing technology, the formation of commercial publishing networks, and the transformation of knowledge dissemination models. Methods: Through literature review, physical comparison, and interdisciplinary analysis. Results: Research has found that the book carving industry in the Ming Dynasty presented a spatial pattern of "prosperity in the south and gradual decline in the north", with Jianyang, Jinling and other places relying on waterway transportation to form a cross regional industrial chain; Although movable type printing did not become mainstream, it promoted the popularization and dissemination of popular literature and imperial examination books; The phenomenon of the convergence of scholars and merchants has given rise to a new publishing model of "nurturing commerce through literature. Conclusions: This article aims to reveal the historical function of the book carving industry as a carrier of cultural power, and to fill the gap of existing research that focuses on version studies and neglects the dimension of social history. Future research can combine digital humanities technology to construct a database of Ming Dynasty engraved books, deepen the comparative study of technology dissemination paths, and provide a new analytical framework for the history of East Asian Han book circulation.

The Nôm Preservation Foundation recently made the libraries of two Buddhist temples near Hà Nội available in digitized form. The resulting composite temple collection allows us to pose questions about the history of the book in Vietnam. The history of the book in Vietnam must be understood from an interregional perspective. The availability of relatively inexpensive Chinese books influenced what was worthwhile to print locally. At the same time, even books with the same title are remarkably diverse in terms of content, medium, and annotation. A close look at individual books can show us what and how people read.

Full textAbstract:
Since Islamic boarding school-based madrasas maintain books as a source of history learning, teachers face serious challenges, form students' critical and chronological thinking skills through book study. This encourages a transformation of history learning, which has been taking place traditionally. This study aims to explore and describe book-based history teaching and learning to improve student competence. This research is qualitative, using a case study type. Data collection techniques use interviews, observation and documentation. Data is analyzed using relevant theories or previous research findings. Data validity is carried out by extending observations. This study found that book-based history learning was transformed by formulating personal-social goals without ignoring transformative goals, emphasizing a chronological approach in education, and developing CRI (Constructed Response Items) model evaluation questions. Book-based learning activities are different from using modern textbooks. Teachers' creative and innovative efforts are needed to realise learning objectives in madrasas through book learning. Apart from mastering the content, the national curriculum is also directed at developing critical, creative, communicative, collaborative and literacy skills.

Full textAbstract:
At the beginning of his article the author postulates a general decline of culture nowadays which manifests itself in many kinds of arts, and also in the “art of History”. To the author’s dismay, the latter has been reduced to what can be called, according to Iu. I. Semenov, “istoriology”. Many historians now forget what history is, what an essence of scholar’s work is, what a scholar’s novelty is, and so on. To exemplify this tendency, the article concerns with the book recently published in Moscow. This monograph written by T. V. Chernikova consists of two books devoted to so called Europeanization of Russia. The first book focuses on the 15-16th centuries, and the second book — on the 17th century. This work is severely criticized in this review. The author shows that T. V. Chernikova does not explain the meaning of the word “Europeanization” and the essence of this notion. The author objects to the historiography and the sources in these books. However, the major criticism is concerned with the fact that historiography is not connected with the following text. The text itself based on a very limited range of scholarship and sources abounds in a large number of inaccuracies, errors and nonsense. Even this limited range of historiography the author of the books uses very originally. She simply retells some books or articles — sometimes she refers to them, sometimes — not! There is no academic novelty in the reviewed books, and their author does not understand what is “a historian’s craft” is. These books do not contribute to the scholarship at all.
