Bodoni's major work - Typography - BODONI (Giambattista). Manuale tipografico. Parma, FMR, 1965, 3 vols. 4°, ed. binder, common slipcase. Limited edition of 900 copies, signed by Franco Maria Ricci. Complete with folding plate. Facsimile of the 1818 edition. Major work of Bodoni, the "Manuale tipografico" contains more than 600 incisions, Latin and exotic characters, a thousand ornaments and engravings designed by the great typographer. But its real value is to have within it the first modern typefaces, evolved, refined and rigorous, like those created by John Baskerville, and yet not as rigid and formal as those designed by his great French rival, Firmin Didot. Another important aspect of this monumental work is its integrity of style, which constitutes a model of artistic coherence that is still in force today / FARINELLI (L.), MINGARDI (C.). Vita del cavaliere Giambattista Bodoni tipografo italiano. Parma, FMR, 1989, 4°, 314 p., full black silk edition, soft cardboard case / Set of 4 volumes.
