Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book explores five fictitious Italian editions of Machiavelli's works and three editions of Pietro Aretino's writings that were printed in London by John Wolfe in the 16th century. These works were originally thought to have originated in Italy, but deeper investigation revealed their English roots. The author provides extensive evidence to support their claim that John Wolfe was the true publisher, using type and initial letter comparisons. This study not only reveals new information about these specific works but also sheds light on the broader context of Italian book printing in England during this period. It delves into the reasons why Italian books were being printed in England and discusses the implications of this practice for the dissemination of ideas and the development of English literature. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights into the complex world of publishing and literary exchange during the Renaissance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
