Abstract
Some of the most spectacularly personalized, early modern atlases reveal a sense of continuity in the ties that conspicuously link publisher to purchaser. These are visible in material features – ranging from bespoke bindings to artistically enhanced imagery – that remained adjustable well after the incunable era. By modifying the appearance of a printed book in accordance with the taste and interests of its owner, multiple messages were transmitted on paper: in addition to the prowess of its publisher, the power and prestige of the work’s patron could equally be communicated by means of materiality. On the whole, purposely-compiled collectors’ atlases thus point to the relevance of investigating individual copies of otherwise (seemingly) standardized editions of early printed publications.
