A propos de cet article

Cologne; Dinter, 1998. 32,5x23,5 cm. lxix, (1 blank), 557, (1) pp. Illustrated with initials and facsimiles from early printed Greek books. Publisher's red cloth with gilt lettering, housed in a plain card slipcase. An insignificant bump mark on head of spine. A very fine copy. "[?] the book is divided into monographs of the individuals who participated in any way in the publicaton of printed books, the printing houses where Greeks worked and the presses that were owned by Greeks. In writing about the lives of the scholars and printers, their teaching-work, their circles of fellow-scholars and students, the manuscripts they copied and the libraries they arranged and catalogued, my aim has been to draw attention to the connection between humanist studies and Greek literature and the contribution made by Greeks to the intellectual life of Italy during the Renaissance, which more or less determined the character of early Greek printing and the special relationship that existed between the Greeks and the publishing houses." (Introduction).
