Book History
|
I am a book collector with a long-standing interest in the history of books. A while ago I published a short note on Aldus Manutius and the Aristotelian Commentators (available here). On the same topic I organized a small exhibition of early printed books at Wolfson College, Oxford, in conjunction with a conference devoted to the ancient commentators on Aristotle in December 2012. I prepared a short text about the books on display, which has been published in the Bodleian Library Record (preprint here).
In May-June 2013 I organized a small display in the Proscholium of the Bodleian Library, Oxford, devoted to Stoicism and its Legacy. I also gave a public lecture on the reception of Stoicism, which was recorded and is available as a podcast. I have also written about my own collecting of early printed books related to Stoicism, to be published in The Book Collector (preprint here). |
