PREFACE

My

interest in sixteenth-century book-privileges, especially in France, goes

back more than thirty years. Every instance that I met in my reading of French sixteenth-century literature, and in bibliographies and catalogues

where they were mentioned, was noted.

When the privileges in my files

began

run into thousands, the question arose, what sort of book could result? The choice lay between a study of the subject throughout the century, which would be relatively superficial and leave many questions unanswered, and a more limited work, in which one reign or one period of years within the century to

would be thoroughly covered. The latter seemed to be more useful. And the first quarter of the century was the obvious choice. It was the crucial formative period in the development of book-privileges in France. It was the period when the system developed under the economic pressures which authors and publishers were experiencing, not under government legislation. It corresponded to a span of years of comparative peace and stability, ending with the defeat of Francis I at Pavia. And for the practical point of view it offered the possibility of something like completeness of treatment: the

number of books being

printed in France was large but not wholly unmanagewhereas from 1530 onwards it increased enormously. The sources used are listed in the Select bibliography, but a note on the

able,

method followed in tracing privileges may be of interest. For Paris-printed books, I worked through all the volumes of Philippe Renouard's Imprimeurs parisiens, the manuscripts of which are deposited in the Bibliotheque Nationale. This work contains a fully bibliographical description of every edition printed in Paris in the sixteenth century known to Renouard, including the mention of a privilege when there was one, though with no details of it. Only the sections on Josse Badius Asccnsius and on Simon de Colines were published by the author. The Bibliotheque Nationale began to publish it in 1964, revising and adding to it where necessary, but the four volumes which

have so far appeared have not progressed beyond the printer Blumenstock, with fascicules on Breyer, Brumen and Cavellat. This revision has added few editions not recorded by Renouard, but has provided some useful particulars.

Moreau's Inventaire chronologique des editions parisiennes du xvie siede, of which the first volume, covering 1501 to 1510, came out in 1972, is now complete up to 1530. This constitutes a year-by-year survey of all Paris Brigitte

PREFACE editions of which a copy or a record survives; it mentions the privilege when there is no other evidence for dating, and gives locations, which is invaluable for tracing the rarest books. For Lyon, I have used Baudrier's Bibliographic lyonnaise,

which, with

gaps and short-comings, gives details of, and even and I have used also material available in

texts of, privileges,

the Bibliotheque Municipale at Lyon. For other places the Repertoire bibliographique of sixteenth-century French provincial printing has filled some gaps, and the better histories of printing in particular towns, such as La Bouraliere on Poitiers, have been of great value. These authorities, and of course the registers of the

Parlement of Paris, which are virtually the only surviving made it possible to identify the books which obtained

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

In 1965 the Curators of the Bodleian Library awarded me the Gordon Duff Prize for an essay on 'Printers' and authors' privileges in France and the Low

Countries in the sixteenth century'. This was a great encouragement to continue research in this field. I have also to thank the Board of the Faculty of

Modern and Medieval Languages

of Oxford University and Somcrvillc

College, Oxford, for several terms of sabbatical leave to pursue this work, and Somerville, in addition, for a research grant made to me in the term after my retirement. I am glad to acknowledge the unfailing kindness of the archivists and staff of the Archives Nationales, Paris, over a number of years. I am grateful also to the authorities of the Archives Departcmentalcs of the Haute Garonne,

me access to their records, there in finding the originals of book-privileges granted by their respective Parlements. As most of my sources have proved to be in printed books, I have to thank particularly the librarians and staff of the Toulouse, and of the Gironde, Bordeaux, for giving

ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT OF BOOK-PRIVILEGES IN EUROPE

published, it passed into the public domain. To seek to protect it, even for a short time, from unrestricted reprinting was to ask for an exception to be made in its favour. However, one concept was quite familiar and was to prove useful to authors and publishers asking for such protection. This was the right of a ruler to grant a 'privilege' or commercial monopoly, whether permanently or for a fixed period of time, within his jurisdiction, to the inventor or initiator of a new process, a new product or a new source of supply (such as

mines) capable of exploitation for profit. This right can still be exercised by at the present day, and, in the guise of 'patents', such monopolies benefit the originators of articles as diverse as machines and medicines,

and

The

privileges to be studied in the present work were monopolies only in the most limited sense: they conferred on an author or publisher the exclusive rights in a new book or books for a very restricted period. But the monopoly concept

had played a part in the evolution which led to the grant of book-privileges. It might be thought that the invention of printing was itself a technological feat worthy to be thus patented. In fact the Gutenberg-Fust partnership responsible for it made no such approach to the authorities. The partners evidently relied on keeping the exact process secret at least for long enough to get a useful start from possible competitors. Events proved this secrecy to be short-lived. But the firm, continued by Fust's son-in-law Peter Schoeffer and 1

his sons, kept a leading position far into the sixteenth century.

ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT OF BOOK- PRI VI LEGES Innovations in type-design might also qualify for a privilege: Aldus Manutius obtained a privilege for his types from the Venetian government and from the Pope in 1502. 2 A man who had no claim to have invented printing or even a new style of print might none the less be the first person to introduce printing to a country or city where it had hitherto not been practised. The first printer thus to appear on the scene sometimes secured from the authorities there the exclusive right to print in that place. A privilege of this kind was successfully sought by Johann de Spira in September 1469 from the government of Venice, threatening anyone else who tried to start a press there with fines and with the confiscation of his tools and his books. Printing had been brought in 1465 to the abbey of Subiaco, and transferred in 1467 to Rome, but it was still a relative novelty in Italy, and it is understandable that Venice grasped the opportunity of securing the services of a printer, who was well qualified and prepared to settle in the city. Even so, the councillors must have breathed a 1

GERMANY AND ITALY of such a privilege dates from 1479. In that year Stephan Dold, Gcorg Reyser and Johann Beckenhub agreed with Rudolf von Scherenberg, bishop of

Wiirzburg, to print for him the breviary of his diocese. This edition, when it appeared, bore the full text of a document dated Wiirzburg, 20 September 1479, by which the exclusive right to print the Wiirzburg breviary was conferred on these three printers with the authority of the bishop, dean and chapter. This was a valuable monopoly, since the edition of the breviary thus 1

authorised by their bishop would be required by all the clergy of his large diocese. The neighbouring diocese of Regensburg (Ratisbon) followed suit within a year. The bishop, Heinrich von Abendsbcrg, had 400 copies of the diocesan breviary printed at Wiirzburg, to be sold at three Rhenish guilders, and granted to the printers, by a privilege dated 1 3 June 1 480, exclusive rights 2

In each case, protection from competition, which might otherwise have been expected from the great printing centres, ensured a reasonable return for the outlay involved in printing these large and in the breviary within his diocese.

of Milan.

beneficiaries were the publishers, Antonius Zarottus and his partners. The work celebrated the Sforza family, and the duke recognised that the printing of it had been undertaken with his encouragement ('hortatu nostro'). The

ducal Letters Patent accordingly forebade anyone else to print it in his dominions for six years or to import copies of it printed elsewhere, on pain of a 4 fine of 200 ducats.

The size of the edition was to be 400 copies, and the period of six years requested and obtained by Zarottus was presumably the length of time he estimated it would take him to sell most of them. In 1484 the duke granted to Petro Justino da Tolentino the exclusive right to print the Convivio and other works of Francesco Filelfo, for five years, with a fine of 100 ducats

When it was brought to his attention that Zarottus and Simone de Magniago were printing this same work, he directed that they should not put their edition on sale until the privileged edition of Petro Justino had been sold. 5 The republic of Venice granted its first privilege for a particular book in 1486. It was a special case, being the history of the city itself, the Rerum venetarum ab urbe condita opus of Marcus Antonius Coccius Sabellicus.

ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT OF BOOK- P RI VI LEGES granted the author permission to have it printed and prohibited anyone other than the printer of his choice from reprinting it in Venetian territory on pain of a fine of 500 ducats. None of these Italian books, as printed, carries any indication that it was published under privilege. The privileges are known only from archival sources. The first person in Italy to hit on the idea of using 1

the printed book itself to advertise the privilege seems to have been Bettin da Trezzo, in 1488, when his Letilogia was published in Milan by Zarottus. This

displays a paraphrase by the author, in seventeen quatrains of Italian verse, of the Letters Patent he had obtained from the duke at Pavia on 10 March 1488,

forbidding anyone to copy or sell the book within his dominions without the author's permission, on pain of a fine of 100 ducats. 2 The idea of the privilege

was, however, gaining ground in the book-trade. On 22 August 1489 the publisher and printer of the Orationes de sanctis of Robertus Caracciolus

obtained a privilege for the book from King Ferdinand of Naples, to run until 3 they had sold out their edition of 2000 copies. They none the less omitted to

had been submitted by the author, Donatus Bossius, 4

In the petition, Bossius represented the time and labour he had expended in composing the book, and the injustice which would ensue if other people were free, as soon as it was in print, to reprint it and so rob him of the profit which he might otherwise expect. This argument was accepted by the duke, who added that the author was entitled to the fruits of his exertions in addition to the honour and glory which the publication would bring to him ('equum esse censemus ipsum preter scripti operis gloriam debitos ctiam virtute sua ac annorum laboribus fructus percipere') and granted a privilege for ten years for the Cronaca whether in Latin or in Italian, within his dominions.

GERMANY AND ITALY ten years for his edition of the works of Campanus, printed for him in Rome by Eucharius Silber. In this book the privilege is reproduced verbatim on the verso of the title-page. The title-page was itself still something of a novelty in 1

book-production, and this is one of the earliest examples perhaps the earliest of all of a practice which was to become common in the sixteenth century, and which anticipates however distantly the placing of the copyright notice in

most books at the present day. Not content with printing the Letters Patent, granted at Vigcvano on 26 March 1495, signed B. Chalcus, and sealed with the ducal seal on white wax, the beneficiary placed above it a warning notice

headed INTERDICITUR, drawing the attention of possible interlopers to the penalties they would incur by infringing his privilege. The grounds for the grant were stated in the Letters Patent to be that Fcrnus had with great care and expense brought together the various works of Campanus 'from almost all over Italy', restored them to their pristine brilliance and arranged for them to be printed, but now feared lest the fruits of his labour and expenditure might be snatched by someone else ('ne ipsi fructus qui ex tanto labore atque impensa iure mcrito debent ab aliquo eripiantur'). The following year (1496) Joannes Vinzalius obtained a ten-year Milan privilege for a legal work, the 2 Consilia of Franciscus Curtius. Here only a summary of the grant is printed, at the end of the book, which takes the form of a particularly aggressive warning notice ('Ne in poenam non paruam imprudenter incurras, O Bibliopola auidissime ...'). But it is stated in the book that Vinzalius had himself supplied the manuscript from which it was printed ('ex proprio cxcmplari') and had compiled the index, and these were probably the reasons for granting him the privilege. A privilege covering several different books was obtained a year later by Joannes Passiranus. It is printed in full in the edition of Sidonius Apollinaris, Poema aureum and Epistole, with commentary by 3 Joannes Baptista Pius Bononiensis, and in the edition of Fulgentius, Enar4 on the rationes allegoricae fabularum with a commentary by the same hand, verso of the title-page, or what serves as a title-page. It was issued in Milan on 9 November 1497 under the ducal seal, and signed B. Chalcus. It was to run

and constitutes a 'package' including Apicius, Nonius MarPompeius and an emended edition of Varro. The king of France, Louis XII, when he had gained possession of Milan, began almost immediately to issue privileges as duke of Milan, following

in 1492.

January that year, went to Petrus Franciscus de Ravenna, a teacher of canon law at Padua University, who had devised a system of training the memory, which he embodied in a book entitled Foenix. He based his claim on the time and care he had spent in composing the book, and the risk that others might, once it was in print, reap the fruits of his labours ('ne alieni colligant fructus laborum et vigiliarum suarum'). Anyone in the Venetian state was accordingly forbidden to print the book, or sell copies of it printed elsewhere, on pain of confiscation of the books and a fine of 4 twenty-five lire for each copy. Three weeks later, Dr 'Joannes Dominicus a for two books 'both useful in the faculty of Nigro' requested privilege medicine'. He was not the author of them. But he had acquired manuscripts of them, and proposed to have them printed at his own expense. He feared lest others should reap the reward of the trouble and expense he had been at to secure and publish them. He obtained a privilege for ten years. 5 The printers and publishers were not slow to follow suit. Their demands became numerous, and excessive. By 1517 so many privileges had been granted, some of them for large groups or whole categories of books and for long periods, that it was paralysing the Venetian book-trade, and the Senate revoked all existing 1

The first fully documented book-privilege granted by a lay authority in northern Europe is that given by King Alexander of Poland at Cracow on 30 3

September 1505 tojohann Haller. By the terms of this grant, Haller, who had printed in Cracow since the previous year, obtained a monopoly not of all printing there but in any of the works which he printed. Thus no printer or bookseller, native or alien, might import into Poland or sell within the kingdom any book which Haller had printed, and any copies put on sale in contravention of this privilege were to be confiscated for the benefit of Haller. Protected from the fear of foreign competition, he undertook to print the laws of the kingdom, Commune indyti Poloniae Regni priuilegium, for Chancellor Lasky - the - and as a (27 January 1506), privilege is mentioned in the colophon further inducement to do so he was granted immunity from taxation. 4 When the king died and was succeeded by his younger brother, the more famous 5

Sigismund I, Haller obtained a confirmation of his privilege. But the ecclesiastical authorities in Poland also found it useful

to

support

Haller. Joannes Konarski, bishop of Cracow, finding many of the breviaries in use in his diocese to be defective, had a revised text prepared, and entrusted it to Haller to print, directing all his clergy to

And

in

due course he also granted a privilege for six years to Haller for the Cracow Missal, adding to the penalties for infringement decreed by the king that of excommunication (27 October 1509). 7 A similar privilege granted by the bishop of Poznari to Haller led to a lawsuit between Haller and Casper Tilycz alias Cristek, a citizen and merchant of Poznari, who had imported servicebooks printed elsewhere; a settlement reached in the bishop's court eventually obliged Caspar to make over to Haller the copies he had in stock both in Poznari and in Wroclaw on conditions to be agreed between them, and Casper

repeat the offence (12 September 1515).' In a fresh edition of the Cracow Missal printed that year, and dedicated to Bishop Joannes Konarski (i February 1516), Haller took the opportunity of addressing prospective pirates aggressively:

To booksellers: It is not without great cost that these Missals have issued from our press into the light of day. Therefore if any man induced by greed or avarice, or motivated by the frenzy of envy, presume to print them or put on sale copies printed elsewhere, let him be warned, 2 by the King's Majesty.

He had

in fact perhaps more printing work on his hands than he could manage: he and Jodocus Decius got a special 6-year privilege on 25 April 1516 for Cracow Breviaries and Cursus which were to be printed for them in France. 3 And an agreement between Haller and three other printers was officially recorded on 10 June 1517 under the heading Concordia librariorum.* Haller had occupied a position not unlike that of the King's Printers later in France - such royal printers undertaking much official printing mainly at

own expense but being recompensed by the exclusive right within the realm in any books they should be the first to print. But Haller never seems to have been called Printer to the King. And a transition was taking place to the their

system, perhaps fairer, of granting privileges for individual books: thus Decius obtained on 19 August 1519 a six-year privilege for the Cronica Polonorum of Mathia de Myechow. 5

William Caxton, who introduced printing into England in 1476, transferring his press from Bruges to Westminster, sought no privilege, though he enjoyed the support of the Yorkist dynasty and of Yorkist lords.

The privilege, for seven years, was granted by the chancellor of the university, who was William Warham, archbishop of Canterbury, and until 1515 chancellor of England. 6 Its scope was confined to the University of Oxford and its precincts. As the work was evidently in demand in academic circles in EnglandVthe benefits of the privilege, if limited, may have been very material. The book perhaps attracted the attention of Richard Pynson, the King's Printer. At all events, Pynson advertised his edition, dated 13 November 1518, of Cuthbert Tunstall's oration on the proposed marriage between Princess Mary, daughter of 1

English royal privilege.

THE PAPACY Privileges were naturally valid only within the jurisdiction of the authority /\ which granted them. The area within which a privilege was effective, even in principle, might thus be relatively small. At first sight therefore it may seem strange that a privilege should be sought at all from the duke of Milan or from the king of England when printers throughout the rest of Europe were free to reprint the books which it purported to protect. In some cases clearly the greatest danger from unauthorised reprints came from printers in the same state, in the same town or even in the same street. Works of great local interest, such as the history of Venice by Sabcllicus, or the chronicle of Milan by Bossius, would be most in demand in the place itself and

accordingly offer the greatest temptation to printers there. Even if printers outside that area were free to reprint the book, booksellers within the area were not free to put such an edition on sale. Pynson's privilege for Tunstall's

Froben from reprinting it almost at once in Basle 2 and selling it where he wished on the continent, but Pynson could prosecute anyone attempting to import Froben's edition into England. In the intensely competitive book-trade of Italy, where between 1500 and 1520 there were sixty-five presses in Venice and twenty-one both in Rome and Milan, for instance, a privilege was of real significance which banned any other edition throughout the whole duchy of Milan, a wealthy, populous and largely industrialised territory including towns like Brescia, Pavia and Cremona. Still, the author and publisher of a book of general interest might have their Oratio did not stop

eye on possible profits to be made further afield. Printing in the first twenty years of the sixteenth century was going on in forty-nine different places in 3

Italy.

A prudent and far-sighted author might attempt to prevent his new book from being pirated in these circumstances by extending his privilege coverage beyond the state in which he or his publisher resided. A notable example here is that of Ariosto, with his completed magnum opus, the Orlando Furioso, ready to be printed by Mazocco at Ferrara in 1516, and destined - as he and his printer probably guessed to enjoy tremendous success. In a determined attempt to forestall the pirates, 1

ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT OF BOO K- PRI VI LEGES the book, he obtained a privilege from Pope Leo X (dated 27 March 1516, and signed by Jacobus Sadolctus), forbidding anyone to print or sell the work without the author's command and concession, on pain of excommunication and of a fine of 100 ducats and confiscation of the offending copies. In the terms of this papal indult we sec two considerations being given equal weight: that the books should be issued correct by the author's care and diligence, and that the profit, if any, should be enjoyed by him rather than by others. Not only this, but he secured a privilege from the king of France (perhaps including the duchy of Milan) and from the republic of Venice, 'and from other potentates'. No doubt the latter included the duke of Ferrara, but his privilege by itself would have been little help to Ariosto, whereas for piracy of his book to be illegal in the papal states and in the dominions of Milan and Venice gave him protection (at least in theory) from a very large number of potential competitors. Four years later, the edition of Boccaccio's Ameto by Andreas Calvus, already mentioned, 2 carries not only the privilege of Francis I as duke of Milan, but also that of the Pope, dated June 1520, 3 granted for 5 years with a fine of 1000 ducats. In 1521 an Italian translation ofJuan de Flores, Historia de Isabella e Aurelio, 'a spcce di Andrea Calvo', states at the end of the colophon that it was published with grace and privilege of the 4 Pope and of the most Christian king, no doubt the same privilege as for the 1

THE EMPIRE AND THE LOW COUNTRIES Geneva. 2 Papal privileges were expensive. When Michael Hummelberg, in Rome, set about obtaining a five-year privilege from Leo X for Froben's edition of the works of St Jerome, prepared by Erasmus, he was told by Roman booksellers whom he consulted that it would cost about thirty gold pieces. Submitting the

request to the Pope through a series of highly placed and benevolently disposed intermediaries, he eventually secured the privilege for six ducats. 'No one, believe me,' he wrote to Froben, enclosing the document and 3 requesting repayment, 'could have obtained it for so little.'

To my knowledge, there exists as yet no general and systematic study of papal book-privileges in this period. For this reason, I have ventured to give some examples of their scope and geographical distribution. In principle, they were indeed universal.

Eucharius Rosslin, which he called the 'rose-garden of pregnant women and of midwives' (Der schwangern Frauen und Hebammen Rosengarten) This was a practical book intended for people who were not doctors, and is accordingly written in the vernacular.

For this work, Dr Rosslin obtained from the Emperor Maximilian a six-year privilege (Cologne, 24 September 1512) in which copying the book during that time was forbidden throughout his dominions, likewise the import of copies printed elsewhere, on pain of a fine of ten gold marks. The book was printed by Martin Flach at Strasbourg, with the 2 privilege, which is in German, set out in full at the beginning. Flach reprinted it in 1522, omitting the privilege, which had of course by then expired. In Latin, Dutch, English and French translations the book was still being printed in the second half of the century. Another important privilege granted in much the same terms under the

THE EMPIRE AND THE LOW COUNTRIES works which, like this one, were printed by his command (Innsbruck, January 1515).' Although this and other privileges were granted by Maximilian, application for privileges from the emperor was not a common practice. For one thing they usually cost a great deal. Froben obtained an imperial five-year privilege least to i

for the edition of St

Jerome, in addition to the papal privilege already and a mentioned, four-year privilege for the New Testament, also edited by Erasmus. 2 Prompted no doubt by Froben, Erasmus wrote on 28 January 1523 Pirckheimer asking him to obtain a two-year privilege to cover which Froben should be the first person to print, if possible in time work any to apply to his forthcoming Paraphrasis on St John's Gospel, dedicated to the 3 emperor. Pirckheimer was able to secure the desired privilege 'gratis and without payment, which is very rare with us'. Reporting this good news to Erasmus on 17 February 1523, Pirckheimer advised him to write to thank the councillor Varnbiiler who had personally drawn up the privilege, and to see that Froben sent him a complimentary copy of the book, 'for such a document, especially a general one, could not have been obtained under twenty gold 4 pieces.' The benevolence of Varnbiiler in helping to obtain an imperial privilege is also acknowledged in the preface addressed to him by another Basle printer, Andreas Cratander, in his edition of Cicero, 1528, but it does not appear that it was granted free of charge. 5 Under the emperor Charles V to Willibald

forty-one privileges are recorded in the imperial chancery for the period 1522-56, though many more than this are known from their appearance in books. 6

There are however some instructive records to consider from territories in Low Countries, some of which claimed independence from the Empire, notably the registers of the use of the seal of the duchy of Brabant. Brabant was one of the lands united under the rule of the Valois dukes of Burgundy which the Archduke Charles, destined to become the Emperor Charles V, inherited through his grandmother Mary of Burgundy, the first wife of Maximilian I. It included a number of towns where printing was practised from an early date: Brussels, Antwerp and Louvain in particular. No the

this petition,

Claes set out at length the story of the injustices done and threatened by Bosbas, and invoked the practice of other places where the authorities already provided protection against unfair reprinting: in Paris, in Venice, in Lyon and elsewhere, printers received privileges whereby the profit on their new publications was safe-guarded for a set period, and he asked for a privilege of ten years in any work which he should be the first person in the duchy to print. This petition came before the Council of Brabant in Brussels and was granted in the terms requested (except that six years and not ten were given). Claes

paid the standard fee for the use of the seal of Brabant, 1 2s 6d, and was evidently well satisfied with the effect of the privilege, for he paid the same

THE EMPIRE AND THE LOW COUNTRIES by that of Thomas vandcr Noot (30 January 1512), who planned

to

rcintroducc the art of printing into his native city of Brussels. Vandcr Noot's petition, embodied in the privilege, represented the great benefits to edu-

and scholarship resulting from a good supply of books and the advantages which printing could offer in this respect. More particularly he argued that his printing programme included 'several new works and books in diverse languages which he has acquired with great expense and trouble both from the authors who composed them and since then have looked over, inspected and corrected them, and otherwise.' The Council gave him, in response to this plea, a three-year privilege in any books etc. which he should be the first in Brabant to print, and he renewed this, without waiting for the 2 expiry of the privilege, on 23 April I5I3There followed Willem Vorsterman (13 September 1514), Jan van Doesborch (18 September 1515), and Michael van Hoochstratcn (18 February - he 1516), all of Antwerp; Doen Peters (23 December 1516) of Amsterdam - Laureynse in his books Brabant as well as Holland to sell evidently hoped Haeyen (21 November 1517) of 'sHertogcnbosch, Thierry Martens (8 3 February 1519) of Louvain, and Jan Thibault (14 March 1519) of Antwerp. These were personal privileges, protecting any work which the applicants claimed to be new in Brabant. Although the privilege might be seen as a licence to print in these cases as well as a commercial monopoly in the particular books in question, there is no record of any control being exercised over the choice of publication, until the grant to Jan van Doesborch in 1515. On that occasion the printer was directed to show the books he intended to cation

ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT OF BOOK- PRIVILEGES origins in Brabant'. This was issued with privilege of the Archduke Charles, duke of Burgundy, Brabant etc., forbidding anyone to print it or to sell copies printed elsewhere, for the next three years in Brabant and the lands depending on Brabant, on pain of confiscation of their books and other penalties contained in the privilege. It seems possible that this privilege was issued at Ghent, and hence escaped registration at Brussels. The printers' concern was clearly to protect their interests in Brabant and probably especially against competitors in Antwerp: Simon Cock afterwards in fact 1

transferred his business to Antwerp.

When Thierry Martens applied for a privilege from the Council of Brabant on 8 February 1519, he had been displaying since 1515 on some of his books a four-year privilege remarkable for being granted jointly by the Archduke Charles (the future Emperor Charles V) and by his grandfather the Emperor Maximilian I. This forbade copying of the book or books in question for four years in

measure to protect his interests. While the Council of Brabant continued to issue privileges, the Councils of Holland and of Flanders did likewise. The Privy Council also sometimes took a hand.

partly paraphrased petition emphasised that this one had never been printed before and that it would be costly and troublesome to produce. What was said in a book like this might, however, also have political implications. The government of the Low Countries was therefore interested in promoting it, if it was acceptable, and the printer gained something like official authorisation, which could not fail to printer,

help the sales of the book. In fact, the only condition made in the grant is that the book should be printed within four years from the date of the privilege - a sensible provision which other privilege-giving bodies might have followed to

prevent unreasonable staking out of claims for the future. In a later book of the same kind, the Compendium chronicorum Flandriae ofJacobus Meyerus (Nuremberg, 1538), Charles as emperor but also as count of Flanders appears as the giver of a substantial privilege to the author in recognition of his long and careful historical researches (three years; the author had requested six). This privilege, given by the emperor and his Council (Brussels, 19 February 1536),

and signed by the secretary de Langhe, was however given only after the book had first been given to the Council of Flanders to inspect, and on condition that, on their advice, certain corrections and changes should be made and the mention of certain privileges of towns etc. should be omitted. Had Charles V been as personally interested as his grandfather Maximilian in promoting literary works and their publication, he might have imposed some measure of uniformity on the operation of the privilege-system within 1

PRIVILEGE-GRANTING AUTHORITIES IN FRANCE 2

THE

KINGDOM OF FRANCE, in the first quarter of the sixteenth century, was a favourable territory in which to try out the privilege-system. By then it was, like Italy, a country in which the book-trade was highly developed, both in the production of printed books and in the marketing of them. Unlike Italy, it was a single state, with a formidable centralised administration which effectively controlled the whole land. England was indeed as centralised as France, but still had only a small native printing industry mainly serving local needs; a

high proportion of the printed books required in the country was imported from abroad. The French government did not need, as did that for instance of Scotland or of Poland, to offer privileges to induce printers to come and work in its cities. The natural play of economic forces had by 1500 brought printers '

to Paris,

Lyon, Rouen and other centres

in France.

By the early sixteenth century a very large number of firms in France, great and small, were making their living out of the manufacture or sale of printed books, and a highly competitive situation was building up, especially in the hunt for copy. Here as elsewhere there was probably a body of opinion among respectable printers and publishers which recognised the prior right of the first

equally threatened in their interests. Printing in France began in 1470 and expanded over the ensuing thirty-five years without any publisher or author feeling the need to obtain a privilege, except for an isolated instance in 1498 (CH 1498, i). But in 1505 an enterprising popular poet and impresario who was his own publisher, Pierre Gringore, sought a privilege for his newest work (PR 1505, i). By 1507 a

leading Paris publisher, Antoine Verard, had secured from Louis XII a grant, of which the full text is not extant, but which evidently covered for three years any book which he should be the 1

PRIVILEGE-GRANTING AUTHORITIES

FRANCE

Verard had been in business since 1485 and had brought out a couple of hundred editions, many of them first editions of French medieval texts, finely printed and illustrated. He had supplied books to members of the royal family in France and in England. He clearly thought the time had come to seek protection, and avail himself of his connections with the French court. He was followed by Guillaume Eustace, bookseller to the king since about 1497 (CH 1508, 2), who obtained rights for two years in any new book he should publish, though apparently only in certain categories.

The largest number of these grants made in any one year was six under Louis XII (1514) and twelve under Francis I (1519). The number of books published under these privileges was larger than the number of grants.

whose name all Letters Patent were issued from it, grants of book-privileges formed a very small proportion of its activities and concerned very small favours. In the course of fifteen days, 15 30 June 1517, and that during a period when the chancery was moving from place to place and therefore not operating at full strength, it issued 117 Letters, of which twenty-four were lettres simples, the category to which book-privileges belonged: only one of these

was a book-privilege (CH 1517, 5). In the 15303, when the extant records are more complete, it can be seen more clearly what a veritable torrent of Letters regularly poured out from the chancery. In the second half of 1535, for instance, a total of i ,687 Letters is recorded, i ,085 of them lettres simples. It has been estimated that, if the chancellor held his regular audience for the use of

the seal twice a week, he must have sealed some fifty-five to fifty-seven Letters each session, not counting the few for which the fee was waived. 3

Book-privileges cost the Crown nothing to give. There were other favours which involved some sacrifice: ennoblement of a commoner meant that he and his family were henceforth exempt from ordinary taxation, naturalisation of a foreigner meant that his possessions if he died in France could no longer be claimed as aubaine, and so on. There was no such disadvantage in giving a short-term monopoly to an author or publisher for a particular new book. Similarly, as far as the chancellor and his staff were concerned, they had nothing to lose by facilitating the grant of book-privileges. Indeed the reverse was true. Unlike present-day civil servants, every operation that went through their hands tended to bring them not only work but personal profit. The official fees for drawing up the document and for the use of the seal provided the funds from which they were paid, and a proportion of the fee to them, e.g. is out of a 6s fee to the notary concerned. 4 Secretaries and clerks could also expect some perquisites.

Why then did applicants in France go, even more often

than to the chancery, to the lawcourts, and quite frequently to the Prevot of Paris?

Sometimes it is possible to discern reasons why a petitioner elected to apply an authority other than the royal chancery. An applicant wishing to publish in print the style of a particular lawcourt would naturally apply to the court concerned, for its consent and for a privilege. The prospective publisher of a newly codified or newly revised Coutume would in most cases go to the Parlement. If on the contrary he was venturing on copy which would be obviously unwelcome to the Parlement, such as the text of the Concordat of Francis I and the papacy, or a royal Ordonnance which the Parlement had objected to registering, he would have a motive for preferring to go to the to

Lyon in August 151 1. No Paris applicants sought him out there. On the other hand Jacques de Bouys, bookseller of the university of Orleans, found it convenient to get a privilege there (CH 1511, 3) for his edition ofJacobus de Belviso, Consuetudines et ususfeudorum, edited by Nicolas Beraldus, since he was any case having the book printed in Lyon by Jacques Sacon. And the Lyon Jean Robion was presumably delighted to get a privilege on the spot, without having to pay for a journey to Paris, for Antonius de Petrutia, Tractatus de viribus iuramenti, which he and Jean de Clause were having printed by Jean de Vingle (25 August 1511) and published that year on 1 1 November (CH 1511, 2). Apart from these, all the Louis XII book-privileges of which details are known were granted either at Paris or at Blois.

Another Paris publisher followed suit, Antoine Bonnemere (CH 1515, 2), and Galliot Du Pre soon afterwards obtained confirmation of a Louis XII privilege (CH 1515, 3, cf. CH 1514, 1(2)). And on 26 April Geofroy de Marnef, with Simon Vincent of Lyon, were granted a privilege by the chancery for the treatise De seditiosis, by Nicole Bohier, a royal conseiller (CH 1515, 4). But the king himself left Paris on 24 April. He was already planning an invasion of Italy to recover the duchy of Milan. By 12 July he was in Lyon, where he was to spend three weeks completing his preparations. It was accordingly to Lyon that Jean Petit of Paris had to go, or send his representative, to seek out the royal chancery when he needed a privilege to protect an important 'package' Francis

This was a grant to which the agreement of the chancellor might have already been given or could be assumed. The beneficiary was the same Nicole Bohier whose treatise De seditiosis had received a privilege earlier that year (CH 1515, 4). He was a learned lawyer, a trusted servant of the Crown and a member of the king's Council. The books

were all sponsored by Bohier: an edition by Jean Thierry of the civil law by Pierre de Belleperche, a former chancellor of France on Quaestiones the Commentaria on the coutumes of the duchy of Burgundy by (d. 1308); de Chasseneuz, doctor of law, King's Advocate in the bailliage of Barthelemy afterwards President of the Parlement of Toulouse; and another legal Autun, in question

If Amboise was a fair distance to go, for applicants from Paris or Lyon, specially to seek a privilege, it was relatively convenient for Guillaume Bouchet of Poitiers in quest of a privilege for Malleret, De electionibus, which he obtained at Amboise on 19 September (CH 1515, 9): the journey to Paris would have been nearly three times as far. There were on the other hand successful applications at places along the route followed by the king on his return journey. In addition to the

part of the king, from 13 October 1520 to 9 December 1521, is reflected in the small number of privileges issued by the chancery during this period.

Dr Gabriel de Tarregua of Bordeaux received a grant for his medical works on 10 November 1520 at Amboise (CH 1520, 10), and he or his representative may have been glad not to have to journey further in winter to find the royal court and the chancery. Jean Petit of Paris, or his agent, on the other hand, had to track them down as they were setting out for Burgundy when he secured a privilege on 2 April 1521 at Sancerre (Cher) (CH 1521, 3). Journeys of this kind were quite beyond the means of most authors and publishers, involving much expense in travel and an absence of days or even weeks from their profession or their business. Even Saint-Germain-en-Laye, where the royal court often settled for fairly long periods, and which is by modern standards within easy reach of Paris, was rarely sought out by applicants: Regnault Chaudiere applied there twice within a few weeks in 1519 (CH 1519, 4 and CH 1519, 5) and Enguilbert de Marnef once three years later (CH 1522, 6). Two authors, Nicole Bohier (CH 1519, 5) and Jean d'lvry (CH 1519, 7) pursued the court a little further down the Seine when it was at Carrieres (Seine-et-Oise). The residence of the royal court and the chancery in Paris in the winter of 1521-2 is marked by several applications by Paris publishers (CH 1521, 4; 1521, 5; 1522, i), but by April both were in Lyon: there in June advantage was taken of the presence of each by a Lyon publisher to obtain a privilege (CH 1522, 3) and by the mathematician Oronce Fine (CH 1522, 4). In July

Jacques de Mortieres of Chalons-sur-Saone got a grant for his translation of a work by Mantuanus (CH 1522, 5). No doubt he also had the opportunity of presenting it personally to Marguerite, duchess of Alenc.on, the king's sister, to

a particularly long gap in the last part of the period here under consideration, after the grant of privileges in the spring of 1523 at Paris, on 23 March (CH 1523, 2) and on 2 April (CH 1523, 3). No further privileges are known to have been issued by the chancery in 1523. Only one is known with certainty for 1524, the grant obtained at Avignon on 23 September by

Here they received news of the battle of Pavia and here they waited for the latest news in the negotiations for the king's release.

THE SOVEREIGN COURTS Parlement: origins of Parlement privilege-giving

From 1507 to 1526 inclusive, at least 112 privileges for printed books were issued on the authority of the sovereign courts. The Parlement of Paris contributed 102 of these. The remainder was made up by the Parlement of (7), the Parlement of Rouen (2), the Gourdes Aides in Paris (i) and Grands Jours of the duchy of Berry (i).

and even when the registers were very well kept, to be unrecorded in the surviving volumes of the registers. Such a high proportion of omissions as that occurring in the case of the book-privileges can however hardly be an accident. Either some of the conseillers thought the grant of such a privilege of enough consequence to be entered in the main register, while others did not, or else the applicant himself chose whether or not to ask for permanent registration of his privilege, which was after all a short-term concession never valid for more than four years at most, no doubt paying an extra fee 1

if he opted for registration. In the seventeenth century, when the Parlement no longer had the right to grant privileges on its own authority, it was still often called upon by beneficiaries to register privileges obtained from the royal chancery. 2 This procedure was not universal or compulsory, and it

It had thus become natural for residents in Paris, particularly artisans and mertoo the Parlement

chants, to look to the Parlement for justice even in relatively minor matters. Hitherto, the book-trade had lain outside its jurisdiction: in the manuscript era, this was controlled by the university, through its librarii jurati who controlled the copying of books and the selling and hiring of them. Printing changed this situation. It was a new craft, without restrictions or regulations.

Understandably, then, cases involving printed books had begun to come before the Parlement before the end of the fifteenth century. On 8 January 1486, an arret of the Parlement allowed Vincent Commin, bookseller of Paris, put on sale in Sens or elsewhere the breviaries and missals of the

September 1503, authorised Mace Panthoul, bookseller at Troyes, to put on an edition of the synodal statutes of that diocese, the sale of which had been suspended by the king's officers owing to incorrect wording found in 2 them, on condition that he made the required corrections. The Parlement had also begun to appreciate the usefulness of printing for

own purposes, namely for circulating large numbers of correct copies of laws and regulations. On 30 August 1499 it paid the Paris printers Gervais Coignart and Jean Bonhomme the sum of twelve livres parisis for i oo bound its

copies of certain ordonnances supplied by them to the king''s procureur general to be sent out to royal officers throughout the kingdom. The following 6 March it

paid Coignart forty

200 copies of other

ordonnances, for the

procureur general to send out, duly signed and sealed to authenticate them, 'aux 3 juges et officiers des provinces de ce royaume.' In 1504 an author brought a

case in the Parlement against a bookseller for causing a

A further petition to the Parlement from Cop resulted in Boissier being summoned before the court and forbidden on pain of imprisonment and fine to sell any of Cop's 'armenatz' which had not been 2 signed by the author (5 March I5O4). This meant that Cop could withhold his signature and therefore stop the sale of unauthorised copies. We are here, it seems, close to the familiar formula 'None genuine without this signature'. Cop may indeed have thought of his signature on an almanac upon which the public relied for correct information on phases of the moon, hours of day-light etc., as being like a signature on a medical prescription, that is, a guarantee of professional authority. The Parlement itself was familiar with the idea of authenticating by signature every copy of an official printed publication, as we have seen, and it was to require such a signature when it first gave privileges to greffiers for printed editions of the Coutumes. But Cop's method of

was dealing with a lawsuit between the author Andre de La Vigne and the university printer and publicist bookseller Michel Le Noir, who was printing a work which La Vigne petitioned the Parlement to stop, on 30 April 1504. At the first hearing, on 1 1 May 1504, the court gave La Vigne two weeks to prepare his case, and allowed Le Noir, according to his petition, to complete the printing, with the proviso that no copies of his edition should yet be put on sale. The court's judgement went against Le Noir. On 3 June 1504 it decided that neither he

THE SOVEREIGN COURTS The

first

application, or at least the

first

successful application, to the

Parlement of Paris, for a privilege came three years later, in June 1 507. A Paris bookseller, Eustace de Brie, whose shop was a few streets away from the Parlement, at the sign of the Sabot, behind the church of St Mary Magdalene, found himself that summer with two highly topical and highly saleable items,

which he could not hope to publish in the ordinary way without the risk of them being immediately copied by competitors. It is probably no accident that one of these items, La louenge des roys de France, was by Andre de La Vigne, who had good reason to know the dangers of unauthorised printers getting hold of his works. The other, too, was a work which he may have been instrumental in producing, as secretary to the queen and a regular writer on behalf of royal policies: La chronique de Gennes, an anonymous account of the king's conquest of Genoa. As this includes the royal ordonnance issued at Genoa and dated 10 May 1507, it was almost an official publication, as well as being undisguised propaganda for the king. There could be no question at that moment of seeking a privilege from the royal chancery. Indeed the chancery had not then granted any book-privileges except the one obtained nearly ten years before for Johannes Trechsel (CH 1498, i) and possibly the personal privilege obtained by Antoine Verard which seems to have been granted before the beginning of 1508 (CH 1507, i). So, perhaps in consultation with La Vigne, Eustace de Brie went to the Parlement with a requete. And he duly

received a privilege, for one year, dated 17 June 1507, given jointly by the Parlement and the king's procureur general in the Parlement, the terms of which

The precedent thus established by the grant to Eustace de Brie did not unloose a flood of applications for book-privileges to the Parlement. There was however an application the following

Rembolt, who was himself a university graduate, had evidently represented in his application or requete that the editing of the Expositio had been commissioned by the university itself from certain doctors of theology.

more than anyone else in France to promote the advance of roman type, the improvement of its design, and decoration in keeping with it. In his Horae, printed for him by Simon de Colines in 1525, he revolutionised the presentation of Books of Hours, replacing the gothic type, and the styles of illustration which were the time-honoured way of producing them, by roman type and elegant line-drawings and decorations in the classical taste. Yet in the first issue of the Home, dated 1 6 January 1525 (CH 1524, 2) he or Colines decided to print the privilege on two pages, each facing a page of roman, in gothic. In copies dated Tuesday 17 January 1525 the 'prelims' have been re-arranged, and one of the results is that the privilege is now on the verso of the title-page and the facing page and is printed in roman. If, as appears to be the case, these alterations were made within a day or two of the first copies

PRIVILEGES NOT OBTAINED There were a good many libraires at this period both in Paris and in the provinces who were simply booksellers, that is, dealers in books. Of those who at least occasionally ventured on financing an edition, alone or in partnership, many dealt in categories of books which did not qualify for privileges. Those who specialised in Books of Hours and liturgical books, like Simon Vostre, relied upon the quality of their products, and their ability to offer good value for money, in a competitive market. Many were able to make a living by reprints of books for which there was a steady demand, particularly those which tended to wear out by constant use, from schoolbooks to romances, from cookery books to saints' lives. Others were on the lookout, as we have seen, for suitable privileged books to copy when the privilege had expired and demand for the book had persisted or built up again. Durand Gerlier, whose career began in 1489 and only ended in 1529, an eminent libraire jure and publisher, seems to have obtained a single privilege, an important one, for the Concordat between the king and the Pope, to which he added other works in a 'package' privilege (CH 1518, 2; CH 1519, 2), and otherwise to have ignored privileges. A study of his publications might reveal the reason for this abstention. Henri (I) Estienne's shorter career covered the main period of development of the privilege-system up to his death in 520. His publications included outstanding works being printed for the first time. But he obtained only two privileges in his own name (PA 1512, 7 and PA 1518,7), apart from a publication shared with Jean Petit who held the privilege (CH 1512, 1(7)). Yet he published first editions of Richard of St Victor, Berno of Reichenau, and Ruysbroeck among others, St Paul's Epistles with the commentaries of Jacques Lefevre d'Etaples, as well as wholly new works like the Liber de intellectu of Charles de Bouelles or Bovillus. It would appear that such publications fell into a category that would easily qualify for a privilege of two or three years. It is possible that Estienne relied upon other methods of forestalling possible competitors. Working for the circle of patrons, friends, colleagues and former pupils of Jacques Lefevre d'Etaples, both in France and abroad, he may have been able to estimate fairly accurately the number of copies which would be required. He could then at a given moment put them on sale both in his shop in Paris and at key points in his sales network (he was a messager-jure of the university). The supporters of 1

This was admittedly Geoffrey of a The to think of early obtaining privilege. 1517 reprint shows that there was a certain demand for the book, but in 1508 it may have appeared of more specialised interest, limited to Brittany and possibly to Great Britain: the arms of Brittany appear in both editions and the promoter of the edition, Ivo or Yves Cevallat, writing from the college of Quimper, was evidently Breton. Such considerations also perhaps made it seem unnecessary to seek a privilege, though the book would probably have qualified for one, in the case of Badius' Saxo Grammaticus, Danorum regum heroumque Historiae (1514), which was also the first edition.

OWNERSHIP, ENFORCEMENT, EFFICACY Gilles obtained a privilege until 1518 (CH 1518, 6 and PA 1518, i). It may be that Gilles was prepared to let his edition take its chance, with the advantage

of at least a short start over his competitors. It is thus possible to find or at least guess at an explanation, in a few cases, of books which might well have obtained privileges but which have none. In

most cases however we have no means of telling whether no application for a privilege was made, or whether an application was made and refused. No trace is normally left by unsuccessful requetes. In one instance, it is revealed because a publisher applied to the Parlement for two items, of which one was allowed and the other evidently rejected. That is a glimpse of a process which may have been relatively common. It is improbable that any author who desired a privilege for a new work of his, and could afford to pay for the grant, was refused. We may note, however, that alongside of authors like Jean Lemaire de Beiges and Pierre Gringore, who themselves initiated the printing of their works and the protection of them by privileges, there were still others who preferred their works to circulate exclusively in manuscript among a few patrons and friends. Guillaume Cretin, who could equally readily have paid for his poems to be printed, 1

died in 1525 with almost all his poetry still unpublished. It was only after his death that Galliot Du Pre was able to secure a manuscript and to include some of the poems in a collection of poetry by older authors, to be published under privilege (PR 1526, i), and the following year that both Galliot Du Pre and

Jean Longis obtained privileges for more hitherto unpublished works (PR 1527, 2 and PR 1527, 3). Jean Marot, who died about the same time as Cretin, also published nothing in his lifetime. His works began to be printed only in 1532. Both poets were connected with the royal court, and would no doubt have easily been granted privileges had they applied. Authors who allowed some of their works to be printed without privilege sometimes learnt the hard way that this exposed them to being misprinted, or to having items attributed to them which it suited the interests of the publisher to add but not theirs. The son ofJean Marot, the more famous Clement Marot, spoke in the preface to the Adolescence Clementine in 1532 of 'le desplaisir que j'ay eu d'en et publier par les rues une grande partie, toute incorrecte, mal

EXTENSION OF THE PRIVILEGE-SYSTEM found in other fields connected with the book-trade. The grant of privileges for maps is foreshadowed in La Male et vraie description des Gaules et Ytalies of

Jacques Signot (PA 1515, 4), where a pull-out map of Italy has the publisher's name and 'Cum priuilegio' printed at the bottom, and the Parlement expressly included the map as well as the book itself in the arret ('lesdictz livres & carte'). Later, a map by itself might qualify for a privilege, such as the Vraye which prints the statement that it is description de la ville et chasteau de Guines, 'Extraict

du desseing de Nicolas de Nicolay, geographe du Roy, avec privilege Va 148); this was published in Paris after the capture

CONCLUSION

THE

SPEED WITH WHICH

the privilege-system

became

familiar to the

educated public in France was remarkable. The first privilege issued by the royal chancery (CH 1498, i) remained indeed an isolated episode until 15079. The first privilege granted by an officer of the Crown (PR 1505, i) also had no sequel until 1507. In 1507 too the Parlement of Paris granted its first

humorous Le cinquante-deuxiesme arrest d'amours,

'Cum

priuilegio amoris amplissimo.' All the initiative came from authors 1

and publishers, faced with an increasingly competitive situation. Privileges were sought not only by prominent authors and wealthy publishers, but also by relatively humble writers libraires. They must have been reasonably satisfied with the results since they were prepared to pay for the costs. Book-privileges did not originate in France.

CONCLUSION coupled with leave to reckon the validity of the grant from the date of the publication, could result in a book coming out under a privilege granted

months or even years earlier. The privilege was a favour granted by the king's grace, conferring a commercial concession. The books for which it was sought might be examined by the authorities, and it might be refused for the whole or part of the 2 proposed publication. Privileges however did not form part of any system of licensing or censorship, at this period: the choice lay with authors and 3 publishers of new works whether to apply for them or not. 1

Privileges in France at this time offered a considerable degree of protection unauthorised reprinting of a new book within the

for a limited period against

country, and against the importing of editions reprinted abroad. A privilege put the author who obtained one in a stronger position in dealing with 4

The concept of literary property as we understand it indeed finds no expression in the French documents of the period. Authors and publishers relied on virtually the same arguments in seeking privileges: they might quote such considerations as public usefulness, but their main plea was always the expenditure of time, skill and money involved in producing the new book and the need to recoup themselves before others were allowed to reprint it. 5 But the author's privilege was a step in the right direction. Later in the century the publishable material from the past available to be printed for the first time dwindled, and the role of living authors became correspondingly more publishers.

important to the book-trade. The professional man of letters came into existence. An eminent author might receive a privilege for ten years from 6 publication in all the works he had written or might write. But even that was in the future. '
