TL;DR: In this article, P. A. Leupe publiait un article on L'imprimerie stereotypee des Bibles au XVII e siecle. But, l'A., Athias ne fut pas l'inventeur du stereotype ou meme le premier a le mettre en pratique, le methode etait la meme que celle de Stam ou Schipper.
Abstract: En 1870, P. A. Leupe publiait un article sur L'imprimerie stereotypee des Bibles au XVII e siecle. En 1975, c'est-a-dire plus d'un siecle apres Leupe, Carter et Buday ont propose une variante de l'histoire du stereotype. Pour l'A., Athias ne fut pas l'inventeur du stereotype ou meme le premier a le mettre en pratique. Sa methode etait la meme que celle de Stam ou Schipper. Le phenomene des Bibles completes conservees sous la forme de caractere permanent est assez remarquable en lui-meme. L'A. passe en revue plusieurs exemples de Bibles imprimees aux XVII e et XVIII e siecles

TL;DR: In the second moitie du XVII e siecle, les libraires et les imprimeurs ont joue un role considerable dans la diffusion des idees philosophiques and religieuses dissidentes as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Il ne fait aucun doute que dans la seconde moitie du XVII e siecle, les libraires et les imprimeurs ont joue un role considerable dans la diffusion des idees philosophiques et religieuses dissidentes. Au niveau local et notamment a Amsterdam, les autorites ont beaucoup de mal a reagir avec la vigueur recommandee par l'Eglise. A cote des auteurs proprement dit, les imprimeurs et les editeurs de livres dissidents devaient faire preuve de courage. Chaque libraire et editeur du XVII e siecle merite une approche multi-disciplinaire

TL;DR: The Cambridge History of the Book in Britain this article covers the years between the incorporation of the Stationers' Company in 1557 and the lapsing of the Licensing Act in 1695.
Abstract: Volume 4 of The Cambridge History of the Book in Britain covers the years between the incorporation of the Stationers' Company in 1557 and the lapsing of the Licensing Act in 1695. In a period marked by deep religious divisions, civil war and the uneasy settlement of the Restoration, printed texts - important as they were for disseminating religious and political ideas, both heterodox and state approved - interacted with oral and manuscript cultures. These years saw a growth in reading publics, from the developing mass market in almanacs, ABCs, chapbooks, ballads and news, to works of instruction and leisure. Atlases, maps and travel literature overlapped with the popular market but were also part of the project of empire. Alongside the creation of a literary canon and the establishment of literary publishing there was a tradition of dissenting publishing, while women's writing and reading became increasingly visible.

TL;DR: The use of a commonplace book was typical of university-trained readers, but Nicholas Byfield's Directions for the private reading of the Scriptures, first published in 1617 or 1618, was an attempt to make the practice more widespread among lay Bible readers as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Religious books, in conventional terms, are found to have been the single most important component of the publishing trade. In England, apart from oral communication, there was a mass of both polemical and devotional material which, if published, was published scribally, surviving only in manuscript. Some of the most active preachers of the age never appeared in print, or never in their lifetimes. A large part of the story of indoctrination concerns English Bibles, and there is no better case study of the interaction of public and private interest, commerce and edification, than the English Bible. Many of the Catholic books of the devotional writers included prefaces addressed to the impartial Christian reader, and not just to the Catholics. The use of a commonplace book was typical of university-trained readers, but Nicholas Byfield's Directions for the private reading of the Scriptures, first published in 1617 or 1618, was an attempt to make the practice more widespread among lay Bible readers.
