After having worked for several years for a judicial court in Florence, Niccolò established his business there and published a number of influential books. Among these were Marsilio Ficino's \u003ci\u003eDe christiana religione\u003c\/i\u003e, Leon Battista Alberti's \u003ci\u003eDe re aedificatoria\u003c\/i\u003e, Cristoforo Landino's commentaries on Dante's \u003ci\u003eCommedia\u003c\/i\u003e, and Francesco Berlinghieri's \u003ci\u003eSepte giornate della geographia\u003c\/i\u003e. Many of these books were printed in vernacular Italian. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDespite his prominence, Niccolò has remained an enigma. A meticulous historical detective, Böninger pieces together the thorough portrait that scholars have been missing. In doing so, he illuminates not only Niccolò's life but also the Italian printing revolution generally. Combining Renaissance studies' traditional attention to bibliographic and textual concerns with a broader social and economic history of printing in Renaissance Italy, Böninger provides an unparalleled view of the business of printing in its earliest years. The story of Niccolò di Lorenzo furnishes a host of new insights into the legal issues that printers confronted, the working conditions in printshops, and the political forces that both encouraged and constrained the publication and dissemination of texts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lorenz Böninger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 067425113X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674251137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/06\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Lorenz Böninger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086760161535,"sku":"9780674251137","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_80567344-e1f0-4f80-982a-9f911658d1f6.jpg?v=1769096415","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/niccolze-di-lorenzo-della-magna-lorenz-bzininger-9780674251137","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
