[publicclassics] Greeks, Books and Libraries in Renaissance Venice

[Rosa Maria Piccione]

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the publication of *Greeks, Books and
Libraries in Renaissance Venice*, ed. by Rosa Maria Piccione, De
Gruyter, Berlin-Boston 2021 (Transmissions. Studies on conditions,
processes and dynamics of textual transmission 1). E. 89,95 (ISBN:
978-3-11-057520-0).

What does writing Greek books mean at the height of the Cinquecento in
Venice? 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.
