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.

Bound in blue buckram, a collector’s binding. - 637 editions are described (3 incunables, 51 cinquecentine). “Let it be said at once that [Moranti] has done a thorough and, as far as I can judge, almost definitive piece of work very well; he has provided a long introduction on the various presses which operated in the town century by century; he has printed the text from a number of relevant documents from the local archives; and he has given descriptions of 637 editions printed at Urbino up to 1799 including those of which he cannot locate a copy today.

Clavis typographorum librariorumque italiae 1465-1600 (Bibliotheca Bibliographica Aureliana, 35 and 85)

Uniform publisher’s blue cloth bindings. - The whole of the first volume is an alphabetical list of names (vernacular is given priority over Latin), followed in brackets by variant forms, earliest and latest known dates of activity, and place or places of work. The number of names provided by Borsa is much larger than in the dictionaries of printers previously compiled by Fumagalli, Ascarelli, and Cosenza. The second volume is in two parts: the first is organised chronologically (1465-1600), and then by town, and lists the printers active in each year; the second part is organised by town, and lists the printers in chronological order. There are six appendices in the second volume, of which the most useful list persons falling outside the scope of the main index (e.g., financiers and apprentices, arranged alphabetically and followed by the town name) and places where printing was done exclusively with characters other than those of Latin (i.e., with Armenian, Cyrillic, Greek and Hebrew characters). Preliminaries in German, Italian and Latin. Publisher’s retail price €160 (www.koernerverlag.de). ¶ Superior copy in new condition.
