Autor Valentina Sebastiani
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 apr 2018
In Johann Froben, Printer of Basel, Valentina Sebastiani offers a comprehensive account of the life and printing production of Froben, a major representative of early modern Europe’s most refined printing traditions. Some five centuries after they first appeared in print, Sebastiani provides a bibliography of the 329 Froben editions published in Basel between 1491 and 1527 (including an analysis of some 2,500 copies held in more than twenty-five libraries worldwide), listing the paratextual and visual elements that distinguish Froben’s books as well as economic, technical, and editorial details related to their production and distribution. Sebastiani’s study sheds new light on Froben’s family and career, his involvement in the editing and publication of Erasmus’ works, and the strategies he adopted to market them successfully.

Recenzii

“This bio-bibliography is indispensable for both book historians and antiquarian bookdealers.” Frans A. Janssen, University of Amsterdam (emeritus). In: Quaerendo, Vol. 49, No. 1 (March 2019), pp. 83–85.

“Sebastiani’s work is important and accurate, and it will be an important book for ages.”
Michaela Valente, Università del Molise, Italy. In: Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. 50, No. 3 (Fall 2019), pp. 870–872.

“Thanks to Valentina Sebastiani, Johann Froben has received his due. […] Sebastiani’s meticulous research sheds light on Froben’s career as no scholar has done before. She prefaces an expansive bibliography of Froben’s output with a substantial introductory essay that serves as a business history of the celebrated printer. […] Book historians will immediately appreciate Sebastiani’s accomplishment. Her catalogue represents a valuable bibliographical tool for research.”
Hilmar M. Pabel, Simon Fraser University. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 72, No. 4 (Winter 2019), pp. 1498–1499.
