Whereas traditional accounts of the book in the Renaissance celebrate authors and literary achievement, this study examines the nuts and bolts of a rapidly expanding trade that built on existing economic practices while developing new mechanisms in response to political and religious realities. Approaching the book trade from the perspective of its publishers and booksellers, this archive-based account ranges across family ambitions and warehouse fires to publishers' petitions and convivial bookshop conversation. In the process it constructs a nuanced picture of trading networks, production, and the distribution and sale of printed books, a profitable but capricious commodity. Originally published in Italian as Il commercio librario nell’Italia del Rinascimento (Milan: Franco Angeli, 1998; second, revised edition, 2003), this present English translation has not only been updated but has also been deeply revised and augmented.Library of the written word ;26.Library of the written word.Handpress world ;20.Book industries and tradeItalyHistory16th centuryBook industries and tradeItalyHistoryBook industries and tradeHistoryBook industries and tradeHistory.381/.45002094509031Nuovo Angela253477Cochrane Lydia G1610992MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824591303321The book trade in the Italian Renaissance3938987UNINA
