The present volume provides fascinating insights into Greek-language book production at a time when printed books were already at a rather advanced stage of development with regards to requests, purchases and exchanges of books; copying and borrowing practices; relations among intellectuals and with institutions, and much more. Based on the investigation into selected institutional and private libraries – in particular the book collection of Gabriel Severos, guide of the Greek Confraternity in Venice – the authors present new pertinent evidence from Renaissance books and documents, discuss methodological questions, and propose innovative research perspectives for a sociocultural approach to book histories.</font></pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><a href="https://www.degruyter.com/view/title/534604" target="_blank">https://www.degruyter.com/view/title/534604</a></font></pre><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><font face="arial, sans-serif">Please see the table of contents below.
