Synopsis
A highly readable but erudite book in the style of Alberto Angela's A Day in the Life of Ancient Rome, this is the compelling story of fifteenth-century Venice, at that time the mercantile and cultural capital of the world. A highly readable but erudite book in the style of Alberto Angela's A Day in the Life of Ancient Rome, this is the compelling story of fifteenth-century Venice, at that time the mercantile and cultural capital of the world. There, the first genuine publishing houses open for business leading to an explosion of the written word and an unprecedented diffusion of human knowledge. Among the innovators who are driving these new cultural enterprises, one remarkable visionary, Aldo Manuzio, a man credited with inventing the figure of the modern publisher, stands head and shoulders above the rest. Manuzio will publish the first printed editions of the Talmud, the Koran, the works of Erasmus of Rotterdam, and classics of Greek and Latin poetry and theater, bringing about a true revolution and the birth of the modern., A highly readable but erudite book in the style of Alberto Angela's A Day in the Life of Ancient Rome and Stephen Greenblatt's The Swerve , this is the incredible story of Venice at a time when it was the mercantile and cultural capital of the world. There, in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the first real publishing houses open for business leading to an explosion of the written word and an unprecedented diffusion of human knowledge. In Venice, and subsequently in much of the civilized world, bound printed editions of the Talmud, the Koran, the works or Erasmus of Rotterdam, and classics of Greek and Latin poetry and theater will circulate for the first time, bringing about a true revolution and the birth of the modern. Among the innovators who are driving these new cultural enterprises, one remarkable visionary, Aldus Manutius, credited with inventing the figure of the modern publisher, stands head and shoulders above the rest. This is his story, and the story of the incredible city that allowed such an innovator to thrive., TVenice in the 1500s is the mercantile and cultural capital of the world. There, the first printers, publishing houses and bookstores open for business, and thrive, finding fertile ground in the city's wealth, its freedom and high level of literacy among its cosmopolitan population. Soon half of all the books published in Europe come from Venice. Among the innovators, one remarkable visionary, Aldo Manuzio, stands head and shoulders above the rest. Credited with the invention of the Italic font and pocket editions, he is the first truly modern publisher., This early history of printed literature "delves into the delectable intrigues of Renaissance Venice with a degree of detail that will mesmerize readers" ( La Repubblica ). This accessible yet erudite history traces the incredible rise of publishing in the Republic of Venice, the Renaissance's era of global capital of culture and trade. While a number of Venetian innovators drove this new enterprise, one in particular, Aldus Manutius, stands head and shoulders above the rest. Manutius tirelessly promoted the concept of reading for pleasure, and his Aldine Press commissioned the first modern typeface. Beginning in Venice and subsequently across much of the civilized world, bound printed editions of the Talmud, the Koran, the works of Erasmus of Rotterdam, and classics of Greek and Latin poetry and theater began to circulate for the first time, leading to an unprecedented diffusion of human knowledge, and bringing about the birth of the modern world.
