The Faculty of Graphic Art of the University of Zagreb has launched a project as part of which an entire printing system will be reconstructed and revitalized, as used for printing the Senj missal, incunabula, that is, the first books printed on Croatian soil. This work primarily deals with the actual process of creating a replica of the first Glagolitic press in Senj. The sketches and drawings accompanied by textual explanation show the course of the process of creating this replica. In this project we especially took into account the issue of authenticity and we endeavored in the reconstruction of this historical artifact to achieve a high level of authenticity. |
