Abstract
In 1465 the first dated book was published in Subiaco, near Rome. Within a short space of time printing established itself in Rome (1467), Venice (1469), Bologna (1470), and Milan (1471), and by the end of the century a little under a hundred centres had experienced the new art, making Italy the main European source for printed books. The project will conduct an in-depth exploration of the origins of printing in North and Central Italy with new elements, new sources, new methodological approaches and new analytical tools. The three research units, will explore new facets of this story with a shared hands-on approach to the Renaissance manuscript and printed book, concentrating on the development of the technology, including changes in the paper industry, the circulation of texts, and archive documentation, with the aim of producing a different, less conventional interpretation of the overall picture.
