Abstract & Notes
This volume presents papers from the 2011 CERL Seminar La stampa romana nella città dei papi e in Europa / The Roman Press in the City of the Popes and Europe, hosted by the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Vatican City. The contributions explore the development, dissemination, and ownership of printed books in Rome from the 15th to the 16th centuries, situating the Roman press within wider European contexts.
Topics include early Roman printing and its interaction with the papal curia (Concetta Bianca), the illumination of the first Italian printed books (Martin Davies), the topography of Roman printing in the 15th and 16th centuries (Pasqualino Avigliano; Marina Venier), and curial patronage of printers such as Paolo Manuzio (Paolo Sachet). Studies also examine Vatican incunabula and their collections (Laura Lalli; Benedetta Cenni), early Roman printed books in international collections (Bettina Wagner; Tomasz Osośiński), woodblock printing between Venice and Rome (Francesca Schena), and the editorial and printing landscape in Rome through bibliographic databases such as EDIT16 (Ornella Denza and Claudia Leoncini). Additional contributions investigate notable Roman collectors and collections (Isabelle de Conihout; Stephen Parkin). Collectively, the papers illuminate the interplay of print, patrons, and collectors in shaping the Roman book trade and its European networks.
