"A History of the Cambridge University Press, 1521-1921" by S. C. Roberts is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the evolution and significance of the Cambridge University Press over a span of four centuries, shedding light on its influential role in the realm of printing and publishing. The book likely serves as a comprehensive exploration of notable figures, events, and changes within the press, drawing from various archival documents and previous scholarly works. The opening of the book establishes its context and purpose, stating that it was composed to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Cambridge printing. The author references rich historical documentation preserved within the university, allowing for the revelation of fresh insights into the careers of university printers. In particular, the text introduces John Siberch, recognized as the first Cambridge printer, and discusses the emergence of the printing press at Cambridge, setting the foundation for subsequent developments and controversies involving university printing, especially during the Protestant Reformation and later ecclesiastical disputes. The rich preface sets the stage for a detailed examination of both the operational and historical aspects of the university press. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
