- Double-weighted statement
- This monograph is based on the collection and analysis of a large body of material (ephemeral printed pamphlets from the sixteenth century, in Latin, Italian and Venetian dialect), held in widely-dispersed libraries, in addition to a very wide range of other relevant archival material. Using these variegated sources, the book investigates the impact of ephemeral printed items in Venetian urban culture from a range of perspectives, from the geographical spread of their production, sale and consumption, to the nature of their contents and attempts by political and religious authorities to control their dissemination.
