From Valentina Sebastiani’s bibliography of Johann Froben we observe that Erasmus was a more abundant paratexter than other authors who published with Johann Froben. We supplement that work with a bibliography of Erasmus’ imprints with Hieronymus Froben. We note trends across the Erasmus-Froben corpus, including: a remarkable number of imprints, equally balanced between new editions and re-editions, abundant dedications without correlation to format, indexes in folio volumes especially, a growing attention to errata lists over time. These patterns shed light on one author-printer partnership but also on more general trends in learned publishing in the early 16th century.en-USPhilosophyHistoryJournal Article2023-02-2210.1163/18749275-04102003Ann Blair and Maryam Patton, “A Quantitative Study of the Paratexts in Erasmus-Froben Imprints,” Erasmus Studies 41 (2021): 99-181
