Abstract
New contributions and study of the appearance and use of the Gothic Incunabula type (1904) created by the typographer, polygrapher, printer and librarian Eudal Canibell i Masbernat (Barcelona, 1858-1928). Through the analysis of different letters and other documents, it describes Cannibell’s creation process of the Gothic Incunabula, which historic, ideological and artistic origins derive from the necessity to give Catalonia a printing type similar to the gothic books mainly printed by Rosenbach in the 15th and 16th Centuries. After the creation and foundry of the types —obtained from the economical aid given by the Sociedad Catalana de Bibliófilos— its application was immediate in bibliophile’s books and all kinds of small prints.
