520    The Renaissance in Florence conjures images of beautiful 
       frescoes and elegant buildings-the dazzling handiwork of 
       the city's skilled artists and architects. But equally 
       important for the centuries to follow were geniuses of a 
       different sort: Florence's manuscript hunters, scribes, 
       scholars, and booksellers, who blew the dust off a 
       thousand years of history and, through the discovery and 
       diffusion of ancient knowledge, imagined a new and 
       enlightened world. At the heart of this activity, which 
       bestselling author Ross King relates in his exhilarating 
       new book, was a remarkable man: Vespasiano da Bisticci. 
       Born in 1422, he became what a friend called "the king of 
       the world's booksellers." At a time when all books were 
       made by hand, over four decades Vespasiano produced and 
       sold many hundreds of volumes from his bookshop, which 
       also became a gathering spot for debate and discussion. 
       Besides repositories of ancient wisdom by the likes of 
       Plato, Aristotle, and Quintilian, his books were works of 
       art in their own right, copied by talented scribes and 
       illuminated by the finest miniaturists. His clients 
       included a roll-call of popes, kings, and princes across 
       Europe who wished to burnish their reputations by founding
       magnificent libraries.
