Giunti Press

    0.02 sec.

Giunti (Junta) Press

Italian printing house established by Luca-Antonio Giunti (1457–1538) in Venice in the 1480s. The more important branch of the firm was at Florence, where Filippo Giunti (1450–1517) printed from 1497 until his death. The business was carried on by his descendants until the early 17th century. Filippo Giunti printed the first Greek edition of Plutarch's Lives in 1517.

The Venetian branch of the family lasted until 1642, and there was a third branch printing at Lyons (1520–92). The Giunti Press came into conflict with their Venetian rival, the printing house of Aldus Manutius, in the first years of the 16th century, probably over the right to monopolize italic type.
