Summary:

This book explores the rise and significance of antiquarian literature during the sixteenth century, focusing on the interplay between manuscript and print media.

The book is a compilation of research contributions from an international seminar held in Barcelona in 2022. It examines the production, reception, and annotation of printed antiquarian works, with case studies on notable figures and collections. The volume serves as a continuation of previous research on early printed collections of classical inscriptions, providing insights into how antiquarian scholarship evolved with the advent of the printing press.
