Development of Typographic Features on Front of Pages of Eary Printed Croatian Books

Tema ovog diplomskog rada je način na koji su se tipografski elementi navodili, ali i mijenjali na naslovnim stranicama knjiga u razdoblju od 16. do 19. stoljeća. Na početku rada dan je kratki pregled razvoja tiskarstva, nakon čega slijedi istraživanje provedeno u Znanstvenoj knjižnicu u Zadru. Cilj rada je istražiti razvoj naslovnih stranica starih knjiga u razdoblju od četiri stoljeća, i to na primjeru knjiga tiskanih na hrvatskom jeziku u važnim tiskarskim središtima tog doba kao što su Venecija, Zadar, Rim i Ancona. Analizirane knjige pronađene su uglavnom u fondu Znanstvene knjižnice u Zadru, ali je u nedostatku naslovnih stranica iz 16. stoljeća bilo potrebno analizirati dodatne izvore.This master's thesis is based on the way typographic features have been cited, but also have changed on the front pages of books dating from 16th until 19th century. Once the review of the beginning of printing industry has been given, the research conducted in the Scientific Library in Zadar will be presented. The aim of this paper is to give an overview on the evolution of typography on front pages of early printed books over the period of four centuries on the examples of books printed in Croatian language in important printing centres of that time, such as Venice, Zadar, Rome and Ancona. Analized books have been found mostly in the fund of the Scientific Library in Zadar, but in the absence of front pages from the 16th century it was still necessary to consult other source
