From Renaissance collections to nineteenth-century print exhibitions, the "museumification" of literature calls for a redefinition of the traditional relationship between literature and books. Based on a sample of literary exhibitions in museums, this article examines the issues they bring to the fore on a period that extends from the end of the nineteenth century to today. It adopts a multidisciplinary approach to investigate the theoretical and practical underpinnings of the concomitant museumification of literature and books by observing the tensions that it creates on an institutional scale, both between libraries and museums and within certain literary paradigms (genres, "classics," etc.). This article thus explores the motivations that might explain the seemingly central place of the book in the literary exhibition as opposed to a multitude of objects a priori more spectacular. In this sense, the hyper-materiality of literature and its dissociation from the book (on which the very existence of the literary museum is paradoxically based) is the focus of detailed analysis here. The literary exhibition relies on the contextualization of the literary text and, especially in a time of emphasis on digital text, on its place in the history of the book. Museumification today tends to attribute additional value to literature that is on other platforms than paper as a way of adding a spectacular aspect to the exhibition. In this perspective, the contemporary "dematerialization" of the book poses an ultimate question - a question concerning digital literary collections and the use of digital platforms in the added value of literature. By facilitating and broadening the access to heritage, virtual exhibits (one example of the digital platform) offer the double advantage of protecting fragile collections and making their value more durable. They run the risk, however, of neutralizing the "aura" of paper books and the quest for tangible objects, which constitute the main reason for our society's attachment to paper books and the foundation of museums.

The article announces that Canadian historian of medical print culture Jennifer J. Connor received the 2015 Marie Tremaine Medal and the Watters-Morley Prize by the Bibliographical Society of Canada for her scholarship.

The article examines the production and transmission of "Copie of a Letter Sent Out of England to Don Bernardin Mendoza" (CoL), a piece of anti-Catholic propaganda in early-modern England. It explores the interpretive frameworks being used by authors and publishers to package early modern news. It discusses the publishing history distinguished by multilingual research and critical engagement with the "Short-Title Catalogue."

The article focuses on the history of the publication of an early Presbyterian hymnal in the Maritime Provinces, Canada. Topics discussed include rare surviving copies of the book "The Choir;" the controversy involved in 19th century Canadian religious book publishing; and opinion that the book was prepared to meet the unique musical interests of Maritime Presbyterians who were engaged in lively debates about innovations in church worship.
