Italian printers 1501-1520. An annotated list, with an introduction (Cambridge Bibliographical Society Monograph, 3)
London, Bowes & Bowes, 1958(23 cm), xxxiv (2), 177 (1) pp., illustrations including 2 plates and map. Publisher’s printed blue wrappers. - A useful tool, arranged in alphabetical order of places and under them of printers, so that it is possible to ascertain quickly which printers were at work in any town at any given date between 1501-1520.

Rhodes, in The Book Collector, Autumn 1958, pp.310-314. ¶ Copy inscribed by H.M. Adams, January 1958. Wrapper fatigued. -

Annali tipografici di Giacomo Mazzocchi (Biblioteca Bibliografica Italica, 24)
Florence, Sansoni, 1961(25.5 cm), 207 (3) pp., illustrations. Bound in collector’s red buckram, black skiver lettering-piece. - 167 editions are described. A native of Bergamo, Giacomo Mazzocchi arrived in Rome in 1505, and began to print there the same year.

Rhodes, in The Library, June 1963, pp.152-153). ¶ Copy 258 (of 666). Excellent, unmarked copy. -

La stampa a Viterbo "1488"-1800 : Catalogo descrittivo : Traduzione italiana a cura di Jolanda Galigani (Biblioteca di bibliografia Italiana, 41)
Florence, Leo S. Olschki, 1963(25.5 cm), 218 pp., 9 plates. Bound in green buckram, a collector’s binding. - 545 editions are described (1 incunable, 30 cinquecentine). The great majority have been examined by the author, but fifty have proved untraceable and are described from notices of earlier bibliographers. Rhodes and the Catalogue of books printed in the XVth century now in the British Museum (VII, p.lxxxvi) argue that the date “1488” in Maurus Servius Honoratus, De finalibus ([Printer of Servius, “De ultimis syllabis”, for Franciscus Octavius de Fano], 12 January) must be a misprint for “1478”; see, however, Attilio Carosi, Librai cartai e tipografi in Viterbo e nella provincia del patrimonio di S. Pietro in Tuscia nel secoli XV e XVI (Viterbo 1988), pp.23-27, who argues for the date as printed. Denis Reidy, “Bibliography of the published works of Dennis E. Rhodes” in The Italian Book, 1465-1800: Studies presented to Dennis E. Rhodes on his 70th Birthday (London 1993), no. 118.
