A new series of lectures on books, typography and their history begin at the Historical Library through the rare, valuable and often unique items of its collections. Focusing on the Greek book and in collaboration with researchers and professionals from the entire spectrum of study and production of publications, we explore the historical background, the techniques, the inspiration and above all the people who created the books we admire from the past to the present.
The presentations will be followed by a detailed discussion and demonstration of relevant materials from the collections of the Historical Library, which participants will have the opportunity to examine up close. The lectures are addressed to professionals, scholars and students of the book, collectors and all bibliophiles.
Attendance is free with registration required.
Up to 50 people will be accepted, in order of priority.
