Main (Thompson) Library location: South wing -- Fifth window. Lucantonio Giunta (c.14 - c.1538) originated in Florence, but by 1480 he moved to Venice, where he became one of the first printers in the city. Together with his brother Filippo, Giunta prospered and quickly established a network of presses and publishing houses both in Venice and throughout the cities of Venice, Florence, Lyon, Burgos, Salamanca and Madrid. Giunta himself primarily produced liturgical works, including Bibles and the writings of saints, as well as a small number of scientific works. In 1490, he published one of his earliest independent works – an Italian translation of the Bible, printed by Giovanni Ragazzo. In 1538, the colophons of books attributed to Giunta's practice began to include the phrase Heredes Luce Antonii Junte, "the heirs of Lucantonio Giunta," indicating that his family continued to print after his death. This printer's mark is one of the many variations that Lucantonio Giunta included in the colophons of the books he published. It is comprised primarily of an ornamental heraldic lily, specifically referred to as the "Florentine lily." This symbol served to represent both Giunta himself and his entire family. On either side of the lily are the initials L.A., suggesting the printer's first name, Luca Antonio.
