Receptio patristica investigates the reception of early Christian literature from Antiquity to the present. The series welcomes studies on the afterlife of canonical, ‘heretical’ and anonymous authors whose works were written and/or transmitted in Greek, Latin, Syriac, Coptic, Ge'ez, Arabic, Georgian, and Armenian. Equally welcome are studies focusing on ecclesiastical texts which defy the notion of single authorship, such as conciliar acts, catenae, anthologies, commentaries, and chronologies.
Taking into account other traditions, especially Judaism, Islam, and the Greek and Roman classics, and fostering multidisciplinary approaches, Receptio patristica integrates the recent evolution of reception and translation studies with more traditional methodologies of textual criticism, history, and iconography. Its authors and target readership range from literary scholars and historians of Christianity to philosophers, theologians, and book and art historians.

This edited volume is the first of its kind to focus solely on the material of handmade blue paper in Italy, shedding new light on its significance and transcultural impact. Bringing together perspectives from art historians, book historians, paper conservators, and paper historians, this publication examines the proliferation of the use of blue paper for drawings, prints, and printed books in the Veneto and beyond during the first half of the sixteenth century. Essays explore the preindustrial papermaking process and the materiality of blue paper, the relationship between the use of blue paper for drawings in the Tintoretto workshop and coeval texts on artistic practice, the production and use of blue paper in the Marche, the intersections of drawings and etchings on blue paper, the editions of Serlio’s third and fourth books on architecture printed on blue paper, and new perspectives on the practice of printing books on this particular support.

The 24 carefully selected contributors present new evidence on what we can learn from misprints in relation to publishers' practices, printing and pre-publication procedures, and editorial strategies between 1450 and 1650. They focus on texts, images and the layout of incunabula, sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century books issued throughout Europe, stretching from the output of humanist printers to wide-ranging vernacular publications.

Conventional wisdom holds that Protestant exploitation of printing was astute, active and forward-looking, whereas the papacy was inept, passive and reactionary in dealing with the relatively new medium of communication. Publishing for the Popes aims to provide an impartial assessment of this assumption. By focusing on the editorial projects undertaken by members of the Roman Curia between 1527 and 1555, Sachet examines the Catholic Church’s attitude towards printing, exploring its biases and tactics.

Their conclusions are to be found in these three impressive volumes. Bridging together different generations of scholarship, the authors reassess in the first volume Tridentine views on the Bible, theology and liturgy, as well as their reception by Protestants, deconstructing myths surviving in scholarship and society alike. They also deal with the mechanisms 'Rome' developed to hold a grip on the Council's implementation. The second volume analyzes the changes in local ecclesiastical life, initiated by bishops, orders and congregations, and the political strife and confessionalisation accompanying this reform process. The third and final volume examines the afterlife of Trent in arts and music, as well as in the global impact of Trent through missions.

In contrast to the Renaissance interest in pagan Antiquity and classical literature, the highly significant rediscovery of the Greek Fathers remains untold and largely understudied. The number of inaccuracies in the regional, national and collective online repertoires available at present turns bibliographical research into a time-consuming and little-rewarding exercise, severely affecting the development of the subject.
To tackle this issue, AGAPE records any edition of Greek patristic works printed in Europe from 1465 to 1600 in the original language, as well as in Latin and vernacular translations. AGAPE refines the available data and substantially improves their level of detail: not only does it link each work to the ID of the Clavis Patrum Graecorum (CPG), the standard authority in the field, but also thoroughly describes all contents (text as well as paratext) and strictly relies on the analysis of at least one copy of each edition.
AGAPE currently provides access to all editions printed in the fifteenth century (c. 310). Data related to the sixteenth century will be disclosed decade by decade (1501-1510, 1511-1520, 1521-1530 etc.) to ensure that search results remain reliable at any time.

Il padre, esponente di una famiglia di origini bresciane concentrata intorno a Bagnolo, ebbe nome Francesco, mentre non si hanno notizie della madre; Natale, Giovan Francesco, Martino e Caterina erano alcuni dei fratelli di Pier Francesco. Orientati verso Verona, dove è probabile che già risiedessero, gli Zini si misero a servizio del vescovo Gian Matteo Giberti, che dal 1529 aveva inaugurato un pionieristico programma di riforme attraverso visite pastorali e la pubblicazione di testi devozionali in volgare e di opere patristiche latine e greche. A riprova dello strettissimo legame con il presule, basti ricordare che Natale, l'unico maritato e quasi certamente il più anziano dei fratelli di Zini, modificò il proprio nome in Giberto, mentre lo stesso Zini, con il suo Boni pastoris exemplum (1556), ne fu il primo e più influente biografo. Non sono tuttavia chiare circostanze e modalità con cui quest'ultimo prese parte ai progetti di Giberti e al circolo di letterati raccolti intorno a lui. Per ragioni cronologiche è del resto presumibile che un suo coinvolgimento diretto possa avere avuto luogo solo negli ultimi anni di vita del celebre vescovo, di cui potrebbe aver trascritto l'orazione funebre tenuta dal carmelitano Angelo Castiglione nel 1543, curandone la pubblicazione e firmando la prefazione «ai Veronesi». Zini non fu dunque protagonista, ma testimone attento e devoto della stagione gibertina, soprattutto perché passaggio determinante per le sorti familiari e per la propria formazione giovanile.

Come altri esponenti della stirpe, il padre, celebre condottiero e membro delle Bande Nere, prese parte attiva alle guerre per l'Italia del primo Cinquecento combattendo per conto di Clemente VII, del duca Alessandro de' Medici e più tardi di Cosimo I, mentre la madre, figlia di un capitano di ventura di primo piano, era imparentata per via materna con i Medici ed era già andata in sposa a un altro Vitelli, quel Vitello, cugino di Alessandro, morto nel 1528 durante l'assedio di Napoli. A riprova degli stretti legami con i vertici dello Stato fiorentino, Vitellozzo fu tenuto a battesimo dai cardinali Giovanni Salviati e Niccolò Ridolfi alla presenza del duca Alessandro.

Molti erano stati i traguardi raggiunti da quando, poco più che ventenne, si era allontanato dall'attività del padre, commerciante di tessuti, per entrare nel mercato del libro sotto le molteplici vesti di editore, curatore, traduttore, autore, collezionista e libraio moderno e antiquario. Era stato soprattutto uno dei più influenti ed eruditi bibliografi della Francia rivoluzionaria, imperiale e della Restaurazione, insieme con Brunet, Peignot, Fournier e nodier. Le sue opere in questo settore comprendono, in ordine cronologico: un catalogo delle pubblicazioni dell'amico Giambattista Bodoni ([Renouard] 1794), fiore all'occhiello dei propri cataloghi di vendita, che furono invece raccolti in due rarissimi volumi in ottavo nel 1819 (Renouard 1796-1819; cfr. anche Renouard 1819, vol. 4, p. 244); un saggio a confutazione della teoria secondo cui il belga Laurens Janszoon Coster avrebbe preceduto Gutenberg nella scoperta della stampa a caratteri mobili (Renouard 1818); un'accurata descrizione della propria biblioteca, in quattro volumi densamente annotati (Renouard 1819); una corposa monografia sugli Estienne, con il catalogo delle loro edizioni (Renouard 1837, poi 1843), dalla quale fu estratto un opuscolo comparativo su Aldo Manuzio e Henri Estienne (Renouard 1838); e, infine, il catalogo definitivo della propria biblioteca, ultimato a poche settimane dalle morte (Renouard 1853) e poi ripubblicato l'anno successivo come catalogo per la vendita all'asta, con una prefazione aggiuntiva e una breve appendice (Renouard 1854a e Renouard 1854b). Spiccano su tutti gli Annales de l'Imprimerie des Alde, usciti nel 1803 e ampliati fino al 1834 attraverso un supplemento nel '12 e un'edizione intermedia nel '25 . Le due ultime edizioni dell'opera sono inoltre arricchite da uno studio sulla famiglia Giunta, comprendente il catalogo delle paolo sachet* «VIVRE, POUR AInSI DIRE, AU MILIEU DE CES LIVRES».

Artists including Vittore Carpaccio (ca. 1460–ca. 1526), Lorenzo Lotto (ca. 1480–1556), Titian (ca. 1488–1576), Sebastiano del Piombo (ca. 1485–1547), and Jacopo Tintoretto (1518/19–1594) utilised this support for drawings to explore the tonal effects of light and shade on colour. At the same time, publishers like Aldus Manutius (ca. 1445-1515), Francesco Marcolini (ca. 1500-after 1559), and Gabriele Giolito (ca. 1508-1578) printed books on blue paper, capturing the interplay of the materials that form the page, text, and image. The impact of these practices quickly became internationally influential. This conference explores the use of blue paper (carta azzurra; carta turchina; carta cerulea) for the purposes of drawing and printing in Venice in the first half of the sixteenth century. Recent scholarship has considered the role of this medium in artistic practice and has called for further attention to be paid to this material, beyond its mention in art historical literature as a support for images and text (Brückle 1993; Bower 2002; Brahms 2015; Burns 2020). Bringing together perspectives on drawing, printing, and networks of exchange, this conference will shed new light on the significance of blue paper in Venice between ca. 1500-50 and the material's cross-cultural impact. Programme The conference will take place over the course of two days. The programme consists of presentations highlighting new research and objects preserved in international collections, and a roundtable discussion. Presentations will be in an online format. An online exhibition will accompany the conference.

Yet on closer inspection it becomes clear that creating, altering, copying, and questioning the authenticity of information has always been at the very core of any intellectual, religious, political and economic activity. The printed book, for centuries the most powerful medium for the circulation of ideas, is particularly central to this discourse, and it is no surprise that readers of all times as well as specialists are constantly challenged by the wealth of literary forgeries, fake imprints, fake authors, and material counterfeits. We are far, however, from an established definition of these notions, especially in their differences and overlaps. This two-day symposium aims to explore the topic at three different levels. Texts addresses textual forgeries and manipulations of authorship; editions concentrates on false imprints, 'refreshed' title-pages, and editorial piracy, including that of written and illustrated paratext; copies looks into the alteration of individual specimens of an edition (sophistication, remboîtage, fabricated provenances, retouched decoration). We welcome case studies and comparative analysis related to printed material from any context or time, addressing the making or reception of all such forgeries, fakes, and counterfeits. Exceptions can be considered for significant cases pertaining to the manuscript or digital domain. This call is open to established and early career scholars as well as PhD candidates. Papers must be delivered in English, not exceeding 20 minutes in length.

Firstly, it investigates the major achievements of the Aldine press in relation to early printed books such as the development of pocket-size format, Greek and italics fonts, and printing on vellum and on blue paper. Secondly, it dwells on prominent English collectors whose books were either bequeathed to or acquired by the British Library, forming part of the indispensable holdings of this national and worldwide institution. Visitors will be able to admire unique and restricted view items and learn more about Aldus, his family press and the remarkable Aldine collection of the British Library. The exhibition is displayed in two cases in the Treasures Gallery.

Students of the early modern period will appreciate the diversity of works available in this text to examine, analyze, and use as research material, especially the translated versions of his Latin works. More's writings are examples of the humanist movement and the Protestant Reformation, which changed the political establishment of England and More's own life as a statesman. If the aim of the committee of scholars who put this edition together was to make his work more accessible to the general audience, they have, without doubt, succeeded. This version in modern English and the brief thought-provoking introductions give us a better understanding of both his writings and his complex life as a man of law, politics, religion, and literature. arazoo ferozan McMaster University https://doi.org/10.33137/rr.v43i4.36423 Sachet, Paolo.

Recent scholarship has shed light on the role of this medium in artistic practice and has called for further attention to be paid to this material, beyond its mention in art historical literature as a support for images and text. Bringing together perspectives on drawing, printing, and networks of exchange, this conference will shed new light on the significance of blue paper in Venice between ca. 1500-50 and the material’s cross-cultural impact.
