While more and more is being published on the circulation of Italian texts in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, Lorraine during the reigns of Charles III and Henry II offers an interesting case, for more than one reason. Between 1596 and 1632, Toul’s episcopal printing press and Pont-à-Mousson’s university printing press produced around fifty books by Italian authors. These are almost exclusively religious texts, which contributed to the typographical activity of the French kingdom and the Spanish Netherlands. A precise investigation into the chronology, contents and prefaces of these works shows important nuances in the itineraries of dissemination followed by these texts: passing through Paris, Lyon, Douai or the German Empire, before reaching Lorraine, or on the contrary leaving Lorraine in order to spread to the North and Paris. Under the influence of the Jesuits, the princes of Lorraine and bishops, Tridentine Italy represents a stable factor within the book trade before the Thirty Years’ War.
