The Bookseller of Florence: Vespasiano da Bisticci and the Manuscripts that Illuminated the Renaissance by Ross King
informative
reflective
medium-paced
5.0
The book goes well beyond just telling the live of Vespasiano, it somehow condenses the whole context of manuscripts and the invention and spread of the printing press with it in a comprehensive and readworthy work.
If anything it spurred a newfound passion to look up the manuscrips and people so precisely described by the author.
