Bortoli, Antonio (sold)
Antonio Bortoli (fl. c. 1691 - 1794) was a printer and publisher based in Venice. Though Bortoli published in Italian and several other languages, for much of the 18th century he and his descendants held a monopoly, granted by the Venetian Senate, on Armenian and Greek language publications in the city, primarily targeted at the colonies of Greek and Armenian traders resident there. Many of these works were religious in nature, but Bortoli also published works on history, philosophy, and linguistics (including language primers on Italian grammar).
