The contribution offers a systematic survey of the structural characteristics of a corpus of giant Latin Bibles manufactured between Rome and Tuscany over the span of little more than a century: a picture emerges of a production type characterised by a number of features that guarantee its recognition (e.g. size, script, decorative typology, arrangement in text blocks corresponding to an exclusive sequence of quires, and the stability of certain textual series), but at the same time one which is marked by peculiarities that make it possible to characterise individual specimens in synchrony and to identify clusters of Bibles.

Abstract
The contribution offers a systematic survey of the structural characteristics of a corpus of giant Latin Bibles manufactured between Rome and Tuscany over the span of little more than a century: a picture emerges of a production type characterised by a number of features that guarantee its recognition (e.g. size, script, decorative typology, arrangement in text blocks corresponding to an exclusive sequence of quires, and the stability of certain textual series), but at the same time one which is marked by peculiarities that make it possible to characterise individual specimens in synchrony and to identify clusters of Bibles.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
