Book excerpt: PRINTING WAS introduced into Venice by John of Speyer, in the year 1469, and the first book which he printed was the Epistolce ad familiares of Cicero: « Primus in Adriaca formis impressit aenis Urbe libros Spira genitus de gente Johannes. » he says at the end of this edition. In the same year 1469 John of Speyer published the Storia naturale of Pliny, in a great folio volume, a stupendous typographical work and a second edition of the Epistolce ad "familiares." He then began to print the work of S. Augustine "De Civitate Dei," but was unable to complete it, as he died suddenly at the end of that year. His brother Windelin having finished and published this work in 1470, recorded in the colophon how death had cut short his brother's work, and announced his own succession, adding that he was not inferior to his brother in the art and that he had taken up his residence in Venice. « Vindelimus adest iusdem frater et arteNon minor, hadriacaque morabitur urbe. » The press of Vindelinus was most active; in the year 1470 alone he published seventeen works, then from that year up to 1477 editions of Latin and Italian authors followed one another in large numbers, many being editiones principes, as of the Latins: Virgil, Sallust, Martial, Quintus Curtius, Priscian, Cicero "De naiura deorum" and "De officiis"; of the Italians: the "Canioniere del Petrarca" and the "Divina comedia de Dante Alighieri" with the commentary of Benvenuto da Imola. The two printers of Speyer printed in a very beautiful round character made in imitation of the best Italian manuscripts and especially of the antiphonaries and other choral books of the churches of Italy. Windelin also cut Gothic type, having as early as 1471 published in fine gothic characters the work of Panormita: Pars secunda Lecturae in secundum librum Decretalium (Panzer III. p. 73, n. 35).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Venetian Printing Illustrated But Venetian typography owes its great fame still more especially to Aldus Manutius; above all for his celebrated editions of the Greek classics. Born in 1450 in the little district of Bassiano near Vel letri (1) instructed in Greek and Latin first in Rome by Gasparo Veronese and Do mizio Calderino, then in Ferrara by Bat tista Guarini; he came to Venice in 1489 with the intention of establishing a print ing office to be chiefly devoted to the pub lication of Greek works. Of these very few had been printed before that time, all of them in Italy in Milan, Vicenza, Venice and Florence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE HISTORY OF THE ART OF PRINTING, studied in its most valuable examples, shows clearly how the work of the early printers took, from the very commencement, a national and also a personal character. These are recognized by the modern student in the special forms of type which they employed, and in the character of the ornaments and vignettes with which they decorated their editions; which thus formed, as it were, a species of art-work countersigned by the particular conditions of date, place and genius. Every early edition, with its various characteristics of size, type and ornamentation, is, not merely a trade specimen, but also an historical and artistic document, agreeing in character with the arts of design, the social customs and the literary tastes in vogue at the period in question. The early German printing, with its rigid and angular types and its Gothic ornaments, is perfectly suited to an age and to a country still medieval, and the Italic type of Aldus Manutius is equally suited to the calm and elegant classical character of the art of the Renaissance. Volumes with wide margins, large type and eccentric engravings tell of the pompous magnificence which found favor in the seventeenth century and of which that century has left so many specimens in our libraries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Positing a dynamic relationship between print culture and social experience, Bronwen Wilson's The World in Venice focuses on the printed image during a century of profound transformation. City views, costume illustrations, events, and portraits of locals and foreigners are brought together to show how printmakers responded to an expanding image of the world in Renaissance Venice, and how, in turn, prints influenced the ways in which individuals thought about themselves. Woodcuts and engravings of cities and inhabitants of Europe, and those of distant lands, initiated a sudden and pervasive experience with alterity that redefined the relations of Europeans to the world. By condensing the world into pictures, print enabled a radically novel and vicarious experience of others. Wilson explores the overlapping and evolving relations between space, vision, print, and identity, and engages with current scholarly debates concerning ethnicities, gender and geography, copies and originals, travel, nationhood, fashion, urban life, visuality, and the body. Venice was one of the largest cities in Renaissance Europe, a trading crossroads, and a centre of print. The World in Venice shows how Venetian identity came to be envisioned within the growing global context that print constructed for it.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italian Book-Illustrations and Early Printing: A Catalogue of Early Italian Books in the Library of C. W. Dyson Perrins A simple chronological arrangement1 carries with it one great advantage which any subdivision obscures, that of giving a conspectus of the general order of development, as it progressed year by year, and of the influence which one book or style exercised on another: witness the strong Venetian influence shown in the little woodcuts of the Ferrara edition of the Letters of S. Jerome, and on the other hand the strong Florentine influence which appears at Venice in some, of the cheap illus trated books, more especially those issued by the firm of Sessa about the end of the century. For the present catalogue there is a further advantage in a chronological arrangement in its obviating the necessity for special headings to take in the few early books which are included in the, collection purely as specimens of printing, and also some works of independent interest, notably the series of Arithmetics which, even when incidentally illustrated, have really a subject rather than a chronological, importance. With these also must be reckoned a few later unillustrated books, of small typographical merit, including several Savonarola tracts, which are bound with illustrated books and are here registered chiefly for the sake of completeness.
