All is not Lost. Italian Archives and Libraries in the Second World War
No full textThe chapter provides an overview on major traumatic events that harmed Italian archives and libraries during WWII, focusing on losses of early printed books and archival documents from the Early Modern Age. The reconsideration of some well-documented, and well-studied, cases after a considerable lapse of time allowed a more accurate analysis, and the evaluation of the reliability of the first reports on the damages as well. Furthermore, the chapter presents a few practices and projects, including digital restoration, which have been carried out since to save books and documents from disappearance; and try to consider rules and praxis, if there are any, of present catalogues and inventories to deal with lost or damaged items

«Esercitare le stampe in honore et benefitio della Magnifica Comunità»: strategia di profitto o scelta obbligata?
No full textIn the first two centuries after the invention of printing, the opportunity to act as official printers was much sought after; but in small provincial Italian towns it did not always guarantee a satisfactory return. Printers nevertheless remained eager to print official mandates, partly because this was a prestigious role, but mostly because other more lucrative options were not always available. In such a context, the only way to establish a profitable business was to diversify production to meet market demands

From Inventories to Signs on Books: Evidence for the History of Libraries in the Modern Age
No full textThe shelves of a large number of libraries in the Western world are filled with books printed in past centuries. Little, however, is known about them. The books do not give many clues about their history after they were printed; librarians can seldom provide information on the history of each book, or on that of every collection owned by existing libraries. Historians, for their part, are generally more interested in investigating the history of medieval manuscripts, rather than collections of printed ones. As a result, it is often hard to learn anything about the past life of early printed books: although they are the material witnesses of centuries of culture, they do not speak to us. The aim of this essay is to present a case-study that suggests a way round this problem: how can one force books to speak? Can “signs” and marks on books (handwritten titles, old pressmarks, ex libris, bindings or covers themselves), provide useful clues to the identification of their provenance if analysed at the same time with extant documents related to specific collections of books? Can the comparison between books and booklists shed light on both, and open new perspectives of research
