It also provides a foundation for new work on Anglo-Italian relations in Elizabethan England. Mary Augusta Scott's 1916 Elizabethan Translations from the Italian forms the basis for the catalogue; Soko Tomita adds 59 new books and eliminates 23 of Scott's original entries. The information here is presented in a user-friendly and uncluttered manner, guided by Philip Gaskell's principles of bibliographical description; the volume includes bibliographical descriptions, tables, graphs, images, and two indices (general and title). In an attempt to restore each book to its original status, each entry is concerned not only with the physical book, but with the human elements guiding it through production: the relationship with the author, editor, translator, publisher, book-seller, and patron are all recounted as important players in the exploration of cultural significance. Renaissance Anglo-Italian relations were marked by both patriotism and xenophobia; this catalogue provides reliable and comprehensive information about books and publication as well as concrete evidence of what elements of Italian culture the English responded to and how Italian culture was acclimatized into Elizabethan England.Anglo-Italian Renaissance studies series.Italian imprintsEnglandHistory16th centuryItalian imprintsTranslations into EnglishHistory16th centuryEarly printed booksEngland16th centuryBibliographyEnglandImprintsHistory16th centuryItalian imprintsHistoryItalian imprintsHistoryEarly printed books016.4203106.21bclTomita Soko1945-472150MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154741803321Bibliographical catalogue of Italian books printed in England, 1558-1603231363UNINA
