Overview

Where was the first Quran printed in Arabic? Or the first Talmud, or the first books in Greek or Cyrillic? What about the first pocket-sized books and the first best-sellers? The answer is always the same: in Venice. In Primeros Editores, Alessandro Marzo Magno reveals the history of modern book publishing, including the rise of publishing in the vulgar language and the invention of cursive. ¿Dónde se imprimió el primer 'Corán' en árabe? ¿Y el primer 'Talmud'? ¿Y los primeros libros en griego o en cirílico? ¿Dónde se vendieron los primeros libros de bolsillo y los primeros best seller? La respuesta es siempre la misma: en Venecia. Venecia era una multinacional del libro, con las más grandes industrias tipográficas del momento, que permitían imprimir, en casi cualquier lengua, la mitad de los libros publicados en toda Europa. Aldo Manuzio es el genio que se inventa la figura del editor moderno. Se embarca en un proyecto a largo plazo: publicar los clásicos mayores en griego y en latín, pero emplea el italiano para imprimir los libros con mayor difusión. Inventa un nuevo estilo tipográfico, la cursiva. Toma la puntuación del griego y la aplica en la lengua vulgar.
