This article explores the practice of hand colouring illustrated Luther Bibles in the sixteenth century. It is based on analysis from over 120 copies of various editions of Luther's translation of the Bible. The most well‐known examples are Hans Lufft's editions printed on parchment in 1541 and 1560, illuminated by Lucas Cranach the Younger. However, these copies represent only the very top of the market; the research presented in this article demonstrates that hand colouring was a widespread practice that began with the very first edition of Luther's New Testament in 1522, and continued throughout the sixteenth century and beyond, across the German‐speaking lands, in all formats, and for all levels of the market. This article argues that the hand colouring served an aesthetic purpose, making the complex illustrations more vivacious and legible for the viewer. The colouring also transformed a mass‐produced object into a unique work of art that reflected its spiritual significance, an understudied feature of Lutheran material culture, and one which transcended confessional divides in sixteenth‐century Europe.

The aim of this article is to show that the popular print sold and distributed during and after festive events, such as Carnival, had an impact on the commemoration and shaping of festive culture in early modern Italy. That is, the mass medium of print that had begun to shape European cultures, especially in Italy where Venice was one of Europe's first major printing centres, created festive pamphlets and small books that were attractive for individuals in various cities in Northern and Central Italy. This becomes apparent not only from the sources themselves but also from the connections that exist between these sources and historical and theatrical contexts. A study of popular print related to festive events addresses the most important criticisms of festival studies, namely that festivals were primarily local affairs, which would prevent researchers from making a meaningful contribution to festive culture studies on a larger scale. This article aims to overcome this by studying a selection of affordable pamphlets and small books, presenting the Carnivalesque text La guerra di Carnovale contro la Quaresima, which was intended for large audiences.
本文旨在说明,在狂欢节等节庆活动期间和之后销售和发行的大众印刷品对近代早期意大利的节庆文化的纪念和塑造产生了影响。也就是说,开始塑造欧洲文化的大众印刷媒介,尤其是在意大利,威尼斯是欧洲最早的主要印刷中心之一,它创造了对意大利北部和中部各城市的个人具有吸引力的节日小册子和小书。这不仅体现在资料本身,也体现在这些资料与历史和戏剧背景之间的联系上。对与节庆活动有关的流行印刷品的研究解决了节庆研究中最重要的批评问题,即节庆活动主要是地方事务,这将阻碍研究人员在更大范围内对节庆文化研究做出有意义的贡献。本文旨在通过研究一些价格低廉的小册子和小书籍,介绍面向广大读者的狂欢节文本《La guerra di Carnovale contro la Quaresima》,来克服这一问题。
