BaTyR - Renaissance Typography Database
The Renaissance Typography Database gathers information related to the history of printing materials (typefaces, engraved plates) used in Europe from the 15th to the 17th century. It is the result of over twenty years of work carried out by the Bibliothèques Virtuelles Humanistes team in close partnership with the Laboratory of Fundamental and Applied Computer Science at the University of Tours. Funded as part of the TypoReF project (‘Typography of the French Renaissance, 1470-1640’), the new database allows for the description and indexing of materials appearing in numerous digital libraries, thanks to the IIIF image exchange protocol.
