Quaerendo

Aims & Scope

Quærendo is a leading peer-reviewed journal on the history of books and manuscripts in Europe, especially but not exclusively the Low Countries and its neighbours.

Particular emphasis is placed on the interdisciplinary nature of book history and the dissemination of books and manuscripts.

Since 1971 Quærendo has established itself as a major forum for contributions concerning the history of the book.

Each volume contains, besides full articles on all aspects of the history of the book, a special section for Book Reviews and Notes in order to announce recent discoveries, new publications and relevant events.
