Includes bibliographical references and index.
In 1503, for the first time, a student in Paris was able to spend his entire university career studying only the printed textbooks of his teacher, thanks to the works of the humanist and university reformer Jacques Lefáevre d'âEtaples (c. 1455-1536). As printed books became central to the intellectual habits of following generations, Lefáevre turned especially to mathematics as a way to renovate the medieval university. 'Making Mathematical Culture' argues this was a pivatol moment in the cultural history of Europe and explores how the rise of the printed book contributed to the growing profile of mathematics in the region.
