THE COVER DESIGN.

The article presents information on the Bindoni-Pasini press in Venice, Italy. In the sixteenth century, the Bindoni family of printers had a strong presence. Their printing activity can be traced from Alessandro Bindoni in 1506 to his great-grandson, Gasparo Bindoni, who died in 1602. In the sixteenth century, printing was a competitive and thriving business. Initially the press concentrated on printing books on devotion, romances, poetry, and contemporary literature. They shifted to printing intellectual texts for students and merchants after 1540. They printed the second edition of "Missale Romanum Glacoliticum," in 1528. Printing with movable type was only a century old, when the Bindoni-Pasini press was actively involved in printing.
