Although Open Access, that is to say the free and free availability of content on the internet, is now a well-known initiative, there are still very confused ideas and erroneous interpretations about some of its characteristics and its functioning. In this work, Ernest Abadal aims to clarify the most frequent doubts and misunderstandings regarding Open Access, presenting the theoretical basis of this system, the role of scientific journals and the attitude of researchers, as well as an estimate of which are the future prospects. This guide is aimed at academics and university executives as well as publishers and library professionals. The Italian edition was created with the collaboration of Maria Teresa Miconi, professor of Bibliography and Librarianship at the University of Macerata and recognized expert in Open Access. The preface is edited by Giovanni Solimine, professor of Librarianship at the University of Rome La Sapienza, where he is also president of the University Library System and director of the School of Specialization in Archival and Book Heritage.

«Caro amico, ti scrivo questa lettera di mia mano»: così affermano gli autori medievali le cui testimonianze sono qui raccolte e analizzate. In un mondo in cui la maggioranza degli intellettuali non scriveva di proprio pugno ma componeva dettando a un segretario, l’ambito epistolare rappresenta uno dei contesti in cui la pratica dell’autografia e la sua rinnovata valorizzazione si svilupparono, anticipando la loro diffusione in età moderna. Le lettere contengono spesso informazioni sulle circostanze e le motivazioni della scrittura, offrendosi dunque come una fonte particolarmente indicata per indagarle. L’analisi dei riferimenti a casi di autografia epistolare all’interno di lettere latine scritte tra l’inizio dell’XI secolo e la metà del XIII consente di esplorare la consapevolezza che gli autori stessi avevano dei possibili usi e vantaggi dell’autografia, da inquadrarsi più in generale nella loro concezione della scrittura.

Itinerant salesmen, also called pedlars, street hawkers, hucksters and ballad singers are considered to be the most important distributors of popular printed matter in Europe between 1600 and 1850. A general assumption is that the pedlar travelling from town to countryside was strongly distinct from the role of the established booksellers in the towns, selling books to the educated and affluent buyer. The commercial position of the urban pedlars, however, is very often underestimated. In this book, therefore, the itinerant book trade is studied in an English and Dutch, urban context, leading to a new perspective on the role of the pedlars as an intermediary between the established booksellers and an extensive, socially diverse reading public.
