Lorenz Böninger is an independent scholar who has published widely in the field of Renaissance history. His works include critical editions of the Letters of Lorenzo de’ Medici and of the Ricordanze of Lorenzo Guidetti.
An ambitious and successful effort to shed light on the social conditions, human networks, and labor practices that underpinned the earliest book production in one of the fifteenth century's most dynamic-but also mercurial-centers. Building upon his numerous excellent essays and books on artisan culture and immigrant communities in Renaissance Florence, Boeninger fills an extremely important lacuna in our knowledge of early Italian printing. -Sean Roberts, author of Printing a Mediterranean World A tour de force of scholarship. Boeninger has done a brilliant job of combining known and unknown documents with the literature on the pertinent literary, economic, social, and religious history to create the best and fullest history of Niccolo di Lorenzo della Magna and his world to date. -John Monfasani, author of Greeks and Latins in Renaissance Italy
