4 On the relations between sixteenth-century printing and grammar, see in general P. Trovato, L’ordine dei tipografi. Lettori, stampatori correttori tra Quattro e Cinquecento, especially the chapter “Stampa e norma linguistica”, Rome: Bulzoni, pp. 131-141. For studies on Italian printing we refer to the bibliography at the end of the same chapter (ibi, pp. 138-141), which should be integrated with the more recent studies of Conor Fahy and Neil Harris.

5 See C. Vasoli, La “naturalezza” dello Stato e la sua “patologia” nella tradizione politica aristotelica, «Il Pensiero Politico», 26, 1 (1993), pp. 3-13.

6 See J. F. Dubost, Constitution de la France italienne, in Id., La France italienne XVIe-XVIIe siècles, Paris: Aubier, 1997, pp. 128-140, which describes the arrival of the Corbinelli family in Paris, underscoring the fact that from the early days of their move to France they resided in the faubourg Saint Germain, where many Italians lived, which undoubtedly favoured the relations between compatriots.

7 The book was printed in three editions, in 1589, 1590 and 1595. See M. Gazzotti, Jacopo Corbinelli editore di La bella mano di Giusto de’ Conti, in U. Rozzo (ed.), La lettera e il torchio: Studi sulla produzione libraria tra XVI e XVIII secolo, Udine: Forum, 2001, pp. 167-247. The last edition of 1595, possibly posthumous, is better-known than the earlier ones, since it is one of the last certain illustrations of Corbinelli’s activity. According to Gazzotti, it represents a sort of emblematic testament, summarising both his method of working as an editor of texts, and his original and independent way of commenting on the works and studying the literary language. See also L. Quaquarelli, «Quelle pochette annotationi dalla margine tirate del libro mio»: La princeps bolognese della Bella mano di Giusto de’ Conti nelle postille dell’editore cinquecentesco Jacopo Corbinelli, «Schede Umanistiche», n. s., 2 (1991), pp. 51-79, which analyses the exemplar annotated by Corbinelli, now in Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, Rés YD 681.

9 The edition consists of 84 pages, plus another two unnumbered pages at the end; the paper is size 220.5 x 170.5 mm.

10 Morel, a printer who worked in Paris, was born in Champagne in 1523 and started life as a proof-corrector in the print shop of Charlotte Guillard; from 1557 he worked as a printer and bookseller and, from 1571 obtained the title of printer to the king. He married Jeanne, daughter of Michel de Vascosan, from whom he then took over in the workshop in Rue S. Jacques. See Index Aureliensis.
