Privilegi librari ed edizioni privilegiate nella Repubblica di Venezia (1566-1603)
Synopsis
This work provides the legal framework in which the Venetian book trade operated in the years 1566-1603, and is preceded by an equal one pertaining the years 1527-1565. The repertoire documents the systematic use that authors and printers made of the privilege system to ensure exclusivity in the economic exploitation of a work and thus protect their work and investments. The archival and bibliographical sources collected in this volume testify to the entrepreneurial strategies implemented by authors and printers to innovate and diversify editorial production to create products capable of competing on foreign markets. The repertoire also traces the role of the Venetian State in promoting and protecting the local book industry in a context characterized by continuous historical and political changes.
