Fifteenth-century Bologna is one of the major Italian cities, home to a prestigious university and thriving industrial and economic center; in these conditions, ideal for the development of the early typographic art, the market of the manuscript book, with its world of copyists, illuminators, bookbinders, stationaries, soon adapts to the new way of production, fostering between XV and XVI century the emergence of some great families of booksellers-printers-publishers. Since the first decades of the sixteenth century, however, an overwhelming foreign book production is increasingly present on bolognese market: important printers like Vincenzo Valgrisi and Gabriele Giolito establish branches in the city, while in the law book sector the Lyonese publishing industry of Giunti is gaining momentum. The situation changes again in the second half of the century, when the market is remodeled following the conditioning by the ecclesiastical authorities and it extends to social strata previously excluded from cultural consumption. The work, which is based on a detailed investigation of the documentary sources, reconstructs for the first time a social history of the Bolognese book trade, both outlining the events of families and shops operating in the city, and opening the look at the relationships with the large foreign firms.

Un formidable élan créateur anime la pensée et l'art de la Renaissance. Michel Jeanneret tente de capter cette effervescence, de communiquer cet enthousiasme. Ce livre est à la mesure de la culture, extraordinairement diverse et féconde, du XVIe siècle européen. Il interroge de nombreux écrivains, d'Érasme à Rabelais, de Ronsard à Du Bartas. Il prend à témoins différents philosophes : Marsile Ficin, Montaigne et Giordano Bruno. Il analyse les dessins de Léonard, les statues de Michel-Ange et entraîne le lecteur dans les jardins de la Renaissance italienne. Partout, Michel Jeanneret découvre l'attrait des métamorphoses. Les savants perçoivent le monde comme un système instable, un corps flexible ; ils rêvent d'une création qui, toujours en cours, n'en finirait pas de réinventer les formes de la vie. Animées par une même passion pour les naissances et les transformations, les œuvres d'art sont conçues, elles aussi, comme des chantiers ouverts, des énergies potentielles. La perfection de l'art tient à la promesse d'un développement futur. Exploration des puissances de la nature, foisonnement intellectuel, inventivité de la recherche ; tout cela est à l'origine de notre modernité.
