Hello,

 

            I am hoping that someone on the list can help me with an
unfamiliar printing term that I have come across recently.  I am
cataloging a 17th century rare book printed (I believe) in Utrecht in
French.  Just above the imprint it says "Iouxte l'Imprime." And then "a
Utrecht. M.DC.LXXIII."

 

            I have "Googled" iouxte and it seems to have different
possibilities for meaning.  It might mean "according to," also
"adjoining or contiguous to."  But then, does that mean, if this book is
printed "according to" the printing from Utrecht, has this book has
actually been printed somewhere else?  Utrecht is the only city on the
t.p.  Iouxte seems also to be connected with fictitious imprints.  

 

            Any light that anyone could shed on the matter would be much
appreciated.  Thanks.
