It shows how Aldus redefined the role of a book printer, from mere manual labourer to learned publisher. As a consequence Aldus participated in the same debates as contemporaries such as Leonardo da Vinci and Erasmus of Rotterdam, making this book an insight into their world too.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 138mmAuthor: Oren MargolisGenre: HistoryBook Series: Renaissance LivesISBN-10: 1789147794Type: Countries & RegionsRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
