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 ver few had been printed before that time, a l of them in Italy in Milan, Vicenza, Venice and Florence.

Download or read book Italian Book Illustrations and Early Printing written by Charles William Dyson Perrins and published by Forgotten Books. 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.

Download or read book Manuscript Cultures Mapping the Field written by Jörg Quenzer and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-12-12 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Script and writing were among the most important inventions in human history, and until the invention of printing, the handwritten book was the primary medium of literary and cultural transmission. Although the study of manuscripts is already quite advanced for many regions of the world, no unified discipline of ‘manuscript studies’ has yet evolved which is capable of treating handwritten books from East Asia, India and the Islamic world equally alongside the European manuscript tradition. This book, which aims to begin the interdisciplinary dialogue needed to arrive at a truly systematic and comparative approach to manuscript cultures worldwide, brings together papers by leading researchers concerned with material, philological and cultural aspects of different manuscript traditions.
