Abstract

Ugo Tucci wrote on the printed tradition of Benedetto Cotrugli’s work in 1990. No other element able to shed completely new light on editorial events has emerged since then. It is still, however, possible to look again at just how much Tucci took into consideration and try to see if other suggestions can emerge.
