Il lavoro del bibliografo. Storia e tecnica della tipografia rinascimentale. By Piero Scapecchi.

This article provides an overview of the career and publications of Piero Scapecchi, a librarian and scholar specializing in fifteenth-century printed books. It highlights his catalogues of incunabula and his work on manuscripts. The article also mentions a collection of Scapecchi's articles that have been republished in a volume, which is important for libraries with incunabula collections but lacks updates and references to ongoing repertories. Additionally, the article discusses three controversial theories put forth by Scapecchi, including the authorship of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili and the location of the Deo Gratias printing shop. While the article provides valuable insights into Renaissance book history, it lacks a comprehensive bibliography and in-depth discussions of printing techniques. [Extracted from the article]
