About This Item
In 1516 the type cutter Francesco Griffo turned his hand to publishing, issuing an edition of Petrarch in a new and very compact italic. The book included a brief foreword from the printer, laying out the intenions and hopes for his new press. It is the only known text written by him. Fragments & Glimpses included an English translation; this book presents both the original Italian and the translation, on facing pages.
