The semantic edition of Vespasiano da Bisticci’s works

Abstract

Vespasiano da Bisticci was a bookseller in Florence in the 15th century. His work was important for the dissemination and preservation of classic poems and allowed the creation of the libraries of great Italian Renaissance rulers - from the library of Lorenzo dei Medici to the libraries of contemporary popes. Traces of his work can be found in a corpus of letters and in the Vite di Uomini Illustri del secolo xv. This article presents an edition of Vespasiano’s letters and the preliminary work on a semantic edition for the Comentario de la vita del signore Federigo duca di Urbino.
