BaTyR - Renaissance Typography Database

The Renaissance Typography Database brings together information relating to the history of printing materials (typefaces, engraved blocks) used in Europe from the 15th to the 17th century. It is based on over twenty years' work by the team of the Bibliothèques Virtuelles Humanistes, in close partnership with the Computer Science Laboratory at the University of Tours. Funded as part of the TypoReF project ("Typographie de la Renaissance française, 1470-1640"), the new database enables the description and indexing of materials appearing in numerous digital libraries, thanks to the potential of the IIIF image exchange protocol.
