Baldassare Castiglione 1478 - 1529 count of Casatico was an Italian courtier diplomat and soldier. Originally published by the Aldine Press of Venice in 1528 his The Book of the Courtier remains the definitive account of Renaissance court life and is considered to be one of the most important books to emerge from that period. Amongst the most widely distributed books of the 16th century with editions printed in six languages and in twenty European centers the 1561 English translation by Thomas Hoby had a great influence on the English upper class's conception of a proper English gentleman. The total number of editions to date now exceeds 140. Binder and gilder LÃ©on Gruel 1841 - 1923 began working in the family bindery established in 1825 after his father assumed control of the Desforges binding workshop in Paris. In 1891 he became sole owner employing a large number of artisans. In 1887 Gruel published Manuel historique et bibliographique de l'amateur de reliures in which he argued for a synthesis of styles promoting the acceptance of non-traditional decoration for modern bindings. In practice he matched this belief with a diverse range of emblematic and pictorial covers. The binding under notice eschews the pictorial for a more traditional approach heightened by his use of elaborate and progressive blindstamping influenced by the Arts & Crafts movement.
