Documents and New Studies on the History of the Book in Ferrara in the Eighteenth Century

2022-11-14T17:59:44+01:00

The presentation of two recent studies which explore the history of printing in Ferrara from the 16^th to the 18^th century (Biblioteca Comunale Ariostea, Ferrara, 9 November 2022) is the starting point for debating about methodology, especially in relation to the cultural profile of the scholar dedicated to this task: the historian of the book.

«La réalité a fini par se conformer à l’écrit». Editorial Strategies for the History of Art

2022-07-17T15:52:54+02:00

The paper reflects on Il libro d'arte in Italia (1935-1965) edited by Massimo Ferretti (Pisa, Edizioni della Normale, 2021), as a starting point for further critic reasonings about the relationship between History of Art and Publishing in the Twentieth century. Recalling the statements in the book, the paper remarks a range of topics, like the material aspects of editorial production, such as photography as illustration technique, and the planning of specialized series as the output of cultural projects. This demonstrates how the history of the book of art is linked to the cultural development of the 20^th century in Italy.

The ‘Corpus Chartarum Fabriano’, a Useful Tool for Studying the Watermarks in the Editions of the ‘Divine Comedy’

2022-12-15T09:24:46+01:00

Following the acquisition of the collection of historical samples of Fabriano papers by the watermark scholar Augusto Zonghi, the Fedrigoni Fabriano Foundation initiated Corpus Chartarum Fabriano project in 2017. The project envisages the identification, cataloguing and digitalization of the papers produced in Fabriano over a period of seven centuries. In 2021, on the occasion of Dante's year, the Fedrigoni Fabriano Foundation wanted to explore the role played by the Fabriano paper in the dissemination of Dante Alighieri's works.

From the Sixteenth Century to Today: the Printers’ Devices of the Codogno Council Library meet the Liceo Novello

2022-12-04T13:45:18+01:00

The paper aims at presenting a project which involved the Codogno Council Library and the local secondary school Liceo «G. Novello». The project was intended to turn on the spotlights on the rare books held by the Library, especially the Sixteenth century ones. The students learned to recognize the printers’ devices, to study and to analyze them, as well as to use specific databases and reference works. Eventually, they created storytelling-movies, showing the development of printers’ devices. Such outputs are useful also to make the local community aware of the treasures held by their Library.

An Early Catalogue of Incunabula at the University of Salamanca (1862). With News about Three Missing Copies

2022-11-14T21:20:38+01:00

In 1862, José Bonilla Ruiz, the librarian of the University of Salamanca, developed a catalogue of the incunabula held by the University Library, but that work was never published. Although he had done this work partially on his own initiative, it was linked to other tasks he was carrying out in the Library, like quantifying collections, writing new bibliographic descriptions and working out new indexes. His work reveals an early attempt to describe the incunabula included in a collection, with innovative features, like copy details. On the other hand, this catalogue does not take into account the bibliographical tradition on incunabula which had developed since the Repertorium by Ludwig Hain. Likewise, the study of this catalogue and the comparison with the incunabula currently held by the University show that three of the copies described by Bonilla disappeared on an unknown date.

Cutting and Surroundings. The Choir Library of Sant’Agostino in Siena Between Conservation and Dispersion

2022-11-12T11:32:11+01:00

The paper displays the first results of the cataloguing of the choir books of Sant’Agostino in Siena, a project in progress at the Central Library of the Augustinian Province of Italy (Viterbo). This case study is also a precious opportunity to retrace the dense network (in some cases very complex) that connects this liturgical library to the major national and international, public and private, collections. The choir books of the Augustinians of Siena show in fact – as it often happens for this type of manuscripts – considerable shortcomings, produced by the removals aimed at offering the art market illuminated cutouts. Starting from the album of fragments collected in the 1830s by James Dennistoun, the paper illustrates the cuttings identified as belonging to the choir books of Sant’Agostino, focusing on the difficulties encountered in the process of reconstruction, partly due to the old descriptive customs of this kind of material.

The Worries and Labors of a Reviewer. Filippo Luigi Polidori, the «Biblioteca Nazionale» and Felice Le Monnier

2022-12-01T22:59:05+01:00

During the Italian Risorgimento, the name of Felice Le Monnier has been constantly associated with the publishing of volumes and book series that shaped the cultural identity of the newborn nation. One book series especially, the «Biblioteca Nazionale», represented the strive to harmonize civil/political engagement with literary tradition. Although this book series has been subject to several studies, none of them delved into the processes and editorial practices behind it. Some unpublished letters at the Federiciana Library in Fano (Marche) may be the answer: the letters between the publisher Felice Le Monnier and his proofreader, the intellectual Filippo Luigi Polidori, could fill the editorial gap of the «Biblioteca Nazionale». Many of the letters account for the selections of the volumes, the relationship with contemporary authors and other contributors, the technical part of the book revision process, and the vicissitudes of Polidori’s life as well.

An Unknown Archival Source about the Libraries of the Colleges of the Society of Jesus in the Val di Noto

2022-12-01T23:17:58+01:00

The essay presents the first results of the study of some of the archival sources preserved in the Historical Archive of the University of Catania. These sources provide information on the transfer of the libraries from the Colleges of Val Noto to the University Library of Catania. By a royal decree (October 31^st 1767), a few months after the Spanish regulations, the Jesuits were expelled from the Reigns of Naples and Sicily and all their assets were confiscated. In the Historical Archive of the University of Catania, the manuscript Casagrandi no. 70 collects the delivery receipts of the collections destined to the University Library. The analysis of the contents and of the bibliographic aspects of the lists of books provides valuable information to rebuild the history of the collections that belonged to the Society in the years following the suppression and in the specific geographic context of the Val Noto.
