Περιγραφή για The Bookseller of Florence: Vespasiano da Bisticci and the Manuscripts that Illuminated the Renaissance Dr Ross King Vintage

\'A marvel of storytelling and a masterclass in the history of the book\' WALL STREET JOURNALThe Renaissance in Florence conjures images of beautiful frescoes and elegant buildings - the dazzling handiwork of the city\'s artists and architects. But equally important were geniuses of another kind: Florence\'s manuscript hunters, scribes, scholars and booksellers. At a time where all books were made by hand, these people helped imagine a new and enlightened world. At the heart of this activity was a remarkable bookseller: Vespasiano da Bisticci. His books were works of art in their own right, copied by talented scribes and illuminated by the finest miniaturists. With a client list that included popes and royalty, Vespasiano became the \'king of the world\'s booksellers\'. But by 1480 a new invention had appeared: the printed book, and Europe\'s most prolific merchant of knowledge faced a formidable new challenge.\'A spectacular life of the book trade\'s Renaissance man\' JOHN CAREY, SUNDAY TIMES Σελίδες: 496, Διαστάσεις: 13x13cm
