Abstract

The article examines twenty-one 15th and 16th centuries printer’s copies, mostly preserved in Italian libraries. An atlas, which compares the printer’s copies and the derived printed editions, was built according to Hellinga’s model. As a consequence, this study offers an overview of the most common marks or evidence which prove that an exemplar was used in a printing house. Moreover, some general trends regarding the printing process are suggested.
