DESCRIPTION:How was book illustration used\, and how did it circulate in 1
 5th-century printed editions\, at a time when the spread of printing facil
 itated their availability to wider sections of society? What was its icono
 graphic content and its relation to the text? Who were the artists who pre
 pared the designs\, and what were their relationships with the printers? W
 hat value does the iconographic apparatus have in reconstructing the trans
 mission of a certain text from manuscript to print?\n\nThe 15cBOOKTRADE Pr
 oject\, in collaboration with the Visual Geometry Group (Department of Eng
 ineering Science\, University of Oxford) is experimenting the application 
 to 15th-century printed images of a series of digital cataloguing and sear
 ching methods based on the integrated application of instance-based (i.e. 
 image) and class-based (i.e. text) retrieval.\n\nThis co-operative project
  aims to provide scholars with new tools to systematically track and explo
 re the production\, use\, circulation\, and copy of the same woodblock\, i
 conographic subject\, artistic style\, etc. in 15th-century printed editio
 ns\, enabling people to tackle long-standing historical questions.\n\nMati
 lde Malaspina is a PhD student at the University of Oxford and a member of
  the 15cBOOKTRADE Project\, led by Dr Cristina Dondi. She got her BA and M
 A from the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (Milan\, Italy)\, where s
 he specialised in Medieval and Humanistic Philology. Her doctoral research
  concerns 15th-century printed book illustrations\, with a focus on Italia
 n\, and particularly Venetian\, illustrated editions of texts of Aesop\, t
 he Classical author of fables extensively used for primary education over 
 the centuries. In November 2015 she was awarded a six-months residential s
 cholarship at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini\, in Venice\, for collecting and
  analysing material from the Essling collection.\n\nAbhishek Dutta is a Re
 search fellow in the Visual Geometry Group at Department of Engineering Sc
 iences of Oxford University. His research interests span a wide range of a
 venues in Computer Vision\, Machine Learning and Computer Graphics. Abhish
 ek received his doctorate at the University of Twente (Netherlands) in 201
 5 after which he joined the Product Lab of TomTom International as a Senio
 r Engineer. He obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering fr
 om the Tribhuvan University (Nepal) in 2009 and MSc in Computer Science (b
 y research) from the University of York (UK) in 2010.\nSpeakers:\nMatilde
