Dublin University Press
Dublin University Press was a former imprint of the University of Dublin operating from 1734–1976.[1] The first edition it produced was a Greek version of Plato's Dialogues in 1738.[2]
Its greatest period of success was from 1842–1875 under the management of Michael Henry Gill.[3] Its last manager was Liala Allman, who worked at the Press for a number of years before taking over from her father in 1958.[4]
The press was housed at the dedicated Printing House building from its opening in 1734 until 1976 and a linocut of the house forms the logo of the press printed on many of its publications.
In 1976, the press was acquired by the Brunswick Press.[5]
The Press was revived in 2021 following the collapse of the Brunswick press and was reacquired by staff of Trinity College Dublin.[6][7]
