Abstract:
Purpose of the article is to study the relationship between the men of the political and religious power, on the one hand, and the intellectuals and typographers, on the other. We focus on the Greek printed book during the period 1471 - 1523 in Italy and Spain. The printed book expresses in its pages -in various, and sometimes hidden ways- the collaboration, and somehow, the «conflict» between the two parts. Men of letters and men of policy were in touch, during the Italian Renaissance; and when typography swept Europe as a new revolutionary way of information and of study, both sides wanted to beneficiate from it. Through the introductions, the dedicatory letters, and the hand-painted copies in vellum, we can explore the behaviour, the desires, ambitions and purposes of both sides. As for the Greek book in the 15th and in the first decades of the 16th centuries, we examine the cases of Zacharias Kallierges, Janus Lascaris and Demetrios Doucas, and through their collaboration, and relationship with the political and religious power, we come to a first conclusion for the Greek book, and its ideological and political uses in a crucial, experimental for the typography period.
