Extr. rare non-Hebrew work entirely printed on blue paper (unique copy thus?)
.
1st ed.
(repr. Messina 1589 etc.) of this Italian trsl. by G.B. da Crema (fl. 1521-1560) of the Life of St.
Placidus (6th c.), now ascribed to Petrus Diaconus (1107-1159).
Woodcut ill.
: arms of Camaldulese Order
facing A1r., ills facing F1 and I1; title within elaborate woodcut border, text within woodcut border;
woodcut mark at the end. "Early in the 16th c., under the influence of Aldus Manutius, a new kind of
"secondary deluxe" medium (instead of vellum) was introduced into Hebrew printing by a Christian
publisher of Jewish texts, Daniel Bomberg of Antwerp. The new material was blue paper, a product of
Renaissance fascination with indigo dye, which became a convention of Hebrew deluxe printing in Venice
and later in other northern Italian towns in the sixteenth century… It is a curious aspect of the competition
between Gershom Soncino and Bomberg that the former never produced a book on blue paper; perhaps it
was too costly, or simply unavailable because of an Aldine or Venetian monopoly." (Bibl. Rosenthaliana).
