L'impresa tipografica di Battista Farfengo a Brescia: fra cultura umanistica ed editoria popolare (1489-1500)

摘要

Brescia has undoubtedly received more attention from the historians of fifteenth-century printing than any other Italian city of a similar size. Apart from the detailed account given in 1935 in B.M.C. VII, p.lv and pp.961-93, as long ago as 1905 Robert A. Peddie published with Williams & Norgate of London his Printing at Brescia in the Fifteenth Century: A List of the Issues. This list includes thirty-seven editions which he gave to the printer Battista Farfengo. Then in 1986 the Director of the National Library of Rome, Paolo Veneziani (1939-2007), published as vol. 107 of the same series Biblioteca di Bibliografia Italiana, a thoroughly professional work, La tipografia a Brescia nel XV secolo, in which we find fifty-one editions ascribed to Farfengo.
