Abel Clemence Of Rouen: A Sixteenth-Century Secret Press

Abel Clemence of Rouen: A Sixteenth-Century Secret Press is a book written by George Clutton that tells the story of a clandestine printing press that operated in Rouen, France during the 16th century. The book is based on the life of Abel Clemence, a printer who was forced to operate his press in secret due to the strict censorship laws of the time. Clemence printed a range of books, including religious texts and political tracts, that were considered subversive by the authorities. The book provides a detailed account of the operation of the secret press and the challenges faced by Clemence and his associates. It also explores the wider historical context of the period, including the religious and political conflicts that were prevalent in France at the time. The book is a fascinating insight into the world of clandestine printing in the 16th century and sheds light on the important role that printers played in shaping the intellectual and political landscape of the time.This Article Is Contained In Vol. XX, No. 2, September 1939 Issue Of The Library, Transactions Of The Bibliographical Society.
