 LVL 301)\n\nFLYER | RSVP\n\nWoodblock printing\, or xylography\, the domin
 ant textual print technology in East Asia\, is fundamentally different fro
 m Western letterpress printing\, or typography\, and it presents particula

  published in China over the thousand-year history of traditional printing
  there. Based on decades of experience authenticating and cataloguing Chin
 ese rare books\, the speaker will introduce a wide variety of bibliographi
 cal problems and their interesting\, and sometimes complex\, solutions. Th
 e lecture will provide a comprehensive background to the history of printi
 ng in China and East Asia\, and it will open up avenues of inquiry for Wes
 tern historians of the book.\n\nAll are welcome. Light refreshments will b
 e provided.\n\n\nJames Sören Edgren received his Ph.D. in Sinology from t
