Florence of the Renaissance. These words bring to memory the images of excellent creations of skilled artists and architects. But no less significant were the accomplishments of the creators in a different area: the Florentine hunters for manuscripts, scribes, scientists and booksellers who brushed off the dust of centuries from ancient knowledge, opening and spreading which, they created a new enlightened world.

it was precisely in This area achieved the grandiose success of Vespasiano da Bistichchi - the “King of Book -Twers”, which is dedicated to the new exciting book of Ross King, the author of the bestsellers “Leonardo da Vinci and the Secret Supper”, “Michelangelo and the Sikistine Chapel” and many others.

The manuscripts created under the leadership of Vespasiano sought to decorate their libraries with enlightened monarchs and Roman pontiffs... But the collapse of the grandiose enterprise of the King of the Book Ghosts was a foregone conclusion: scribberry made books available to many.

Dramatic political and religious shocks of the era, history philosophical thought and the European world of the period of grandiose and fateful changes are represented by Ross King through the prism of the biography of an extraordinary person, unfairly forgotten by history, Vespasiano da Bistichchi - a genuine titanium of the Renaissance.
