TPM Book Discussion: The Bookseller Of Florence

The Printing Museum’s docent Matt Adams leads a discussion of the book "The Bookseller of Florence" by Ross King, July 7th, 2021. Ross King’s newly released “The Bookseller of Florence” zeros in on the period of time that written communication shifted from handwritten manuscripts to printed pages. With Renaissance Florence (Italy) as the backdrop, we are introduced to the intellectual, political and religious figures of the time with sharp focus on their interest in the re-discovery of ancient writings. The significance of this rediscovery, which directly led to the Italian Renaissance, means the most important bookseller of the time had many stories to tell. In this presentation, you’ll get an overview and some specifics on how King presents this multilayered look at the Renaissance.
