Technique and Design in the History of Printing
Containing 26 selected and thoroughly rewritten essays and articles (all written by Janssen and published previously between 1976 and 2002 in yearbooks and periodicals) all dedicated to the history of printing and book production, this work draws systematically attention to the typogtaphical design of the book. The articles are mainly divided into two fields of attention: the analytical bibliography of the printed book (book production, studies of the technical aspects of type-setting and printing, type founding, printing presses, paper etc.) and the typographical design of books (its functions and its influence on how texts are read).
A History of the Encyclopaedia of Islam
A History of The Encyclopaedia of Islam is the back story of the decisions that shaped the preeminent reference work in the field of Islamic Studies and of the labor that went into it, a story that has not yet been told. It is a record of a monumental, century-long project, undertaken by the greatest scholars of its time; of friendships and rivalries; and of the extraordinary circumstances in which it took shape. As a product of and a contribution to a century's evolving view of Islamic history, civilization, and religion, this history sheds light onto the world of academia, of the individual scholars who contributed to the encyclopedia's success, and of a time-Europe before and after two world wars-and an age of publishing that dramatically changed in its lifetime.

Boeren in de Roerstreek
De bevolking van de Roerstreek, het plattelandsgebied zuidoostelijk van Roermond, had in de zeventiende eeuw voortdurend te lijden van oorlogsgeweld. Vanaf de achttiende eeuw diende zich een nieuwe uitdaging aan: de groeiende bevolking van voldoende inkomsten voorzien. Vooral de kleine boeren hadden het zwaar. Met kleinschalige ontginningen en verhoging van hun productie probeerden ze het hoofd boven water te houden. In de twintigste eeuw profiteerden ze aanvankelijk van de faciliteiten van de boerenorganisaties, maar hierdoor werden ze steeds meer afhankelijk van de grillen van de markt en overheidsbemoeienis. Dit leidde na de Tweede Wereldoorlog binnen korte tijd tot hun ondergang. Tegen deze achtergrond beschrijft Leo Willems het bewogen leven van de Posterholtse boerin Maria Puts, en dat van haar voorouders. Deze familiegeschiedenis, die de periode 1650-1950 bestrijkt, verbindt de 'grote geschiedenis' met het alledaagse leven van de inwoners van de Roerstreek.
