MANUALS AND SCHOLASTIC PUBLISHING IN NAPLES (1806-1820)

Abstract The contribution focuses on the textbooks adopted in the schools of the Kingdom of Naples (1806-1815) and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (1816-1820) and the printing companies active in the school textbook sector. The events of the printing-publishing market are placed in the context of the educational reform carried out during the French Decade, which constituted the historical condition for the development of the textbook market. The research is mainly based on indirect sources due to the unavailability of primary sources. The analysis conducted on the institutional side makes it possible to identify the texts and authors indicated by the State in order to modernise teaching. The reconnaissance carried out on printers/publishers returns the productive geography of school publishing in the period considered. Publishing activity remained relegated to the capitals of the kingdoms and was almost completely absent in the provinces, which lacked a productive fabric but not a school market.

摘要：本研究聚焦于1806年至1815年的那不勒斯王国（Kingdom of Naples）与1816年至1820年的两西西里王国（Kingdom of the Two Sicilies）各级学校所采用的教科书，以及活跃于学校教科书出版领域的印刷企业。研究将印刷出版市场的发展历程置于法兰西十年教育改革的历史语境中，该改革构成了彼时教科书市场发展的核心历史前提。鉴于原始史料（primary sources）难以获取，本研究主要依托间接史料开展。针对官方管理机构的分析，得以明确该国为推进教育现代化所指定的教科书及作者；针对印刷商与出版商的调研，则清晰呈现了本研究时段内学校出版业的生产地理分布格局。出版活动始终局限于各王国的首都区域，各省几乎完全缺乏相关出版产能——尽管这些省份拥有学校教材市场需求，却未形成配套的出版生产体系。
