Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Bibliotheca Wittockiana within the framework of Europalia 2003 Italia. The catalogue casts an eye over seven centuries of the 'fortuna' of Dante as seen in editions of his work. Some of them are important, others are merely curious but they may yet be significant as giving us an insight into the spirit of the age.

Exposition organisée à la Bibliotheca Wittockiana du 17 juin au 9 septembre 2000.
This monograph is a tribute to the prince of typographers, Giambatista Bodoni (1740-1813) whose genius is not only refelcted in the creating and drawing of typographical characters, but also in their engraving and founding. The authors indicate also less known aspects of his activities: his first experiences as a printer in Rome, the editorial adventure of the Cours d'Etude de Condillac, his passion for exotic types through countless manuals, the Greek, Latin and Italian classics, the English editions, illustrated works, scientific books, the imitators... Some of the prestigious provenances of these rare editions are reflected in the bindings.

This monograph composes the biography of the Deflinne family, whose descendants were booksellers in the town of Tournay for more than a century. Their famous bookbinding workshop achieved the pinnacle of its fame in 1824 when Barthélémy-Leopold Deflinne (1791-1846) becomes the purveyor of King Willem I of the Netherlands. In this study Claude Sorgeloos presents his research on the activities of several generations of bookbinders from the same family and traces the tools they used over two centuries, as attested to by the bindings produced by the workshops led by the Casterman family and Charles Desamblanx, who bought the tools when the Deflinne family ceased their activities. Several aspects of bookselling and bookbinding in a provincial town like Tournay during the Austrian, French and Dutch periods are documented, including the booktrade between Tournay, Paris and La Haye, the trade of bindings between Antwerp and Lille, etc. This volume also contains the genealogy of the family, their unedited correspondance, the catalogue and reproductions of 147 bindings, pricelists and other archival documents.
