	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pietro Bembo
		He was the son of Bernardo Bembo, whose enthusiasm for Italian literature led him to raise a monument to Dante at Ravenna.
		It was at her urgent solicitation that Bembo, in 1520, on the death of Leo X, withdrew from public affairs and retired with his health impaired by severe sickness to Padua, where he lived in ease and elegance, devoting himself to literary pursuits and the society of his learned friends.
		Bembo was a thorough master of elegant diction.

	1502, Venice: ALDUS MANUTIUS
		Bembo is most familiar outside of Italy for his Neoplatonic discourse on love in the last book of Castiglione's The Book of the Courtier, or for Titian's majestic portrait of him (1540) shortly after his elevation to the cardinalate.
		Bembo's linguistic and rhetorical reform of the Italian vernacular found its mature expression in his vernacular humanist manifesto Le prose della volgar lingua (1525), where the Venetian proposed the 14th-century classics Petrarch and Boccaccio as vernacular models for poetry and prose respectively, just as Virgil and Cicero served as humanist models for Latin eloquence.
		While Bembo's edition represented a radical improvement of the text from an objectively philological perspective, it also had the effect of revealing the distance between Dante and the rhetorical sensibilities of the High Renaissance, whose idol was increasingly the urbane and psychologically exquisite Petrarch.

	Two Renaissance Book Collectors
		Bembo himself copied one of the earliest books known to his collection while he was at the University of Padua.
		Bembo used his collection to become learned in the shared metaphors of a courtly culture that esteemed classical literature, as well as to display this knowledge publicly to advance his career and social standing.
		Just as the location of Bembo's books illustrated their function in his life, the location of Capranica's collection in his study at his main residence showed that his collection was immediately accessible for practical and applied use in his daily duties as cardinal.

	Bembo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bembo is a Monotype typeface based on a font cut by Francesco Griffo in 1495, in Venice, Italy.
		That font was first used to print De Aetna, by classicist Pietro Bembo, an account of his visit to Mount Etna.
		The romans of Monotype Bembo Book, Jack Yan's JY Aetna, Franko Luin's Griffo Classico, Bitstream Aldine 401 and Matthew Carter's Yale are all contemporary versions of Griffo's font; the digital font sold as plain Bembo roman is a facsimile of the drawings for the nine-point metal version, and as such should be avoided.

	LPO: Bembo's Zoo
		As I was writing this introduction to Bembo's Zoo, one of my favorite websites, I came across a word I hadn't remembered seeing before.
		However, I did find "abecedarian," which is a noun meaning "one who teaches or studies the alphabet, one who is just learning, a beginner." As an adjective, it means "having to do with the alphabet, being arranged alphabetically, and elementary or rudimentary." Certainly these terms apply to this fabulous site.
		The Bembo's Zoo website was created by the graphic designer Roberto de Vicq de Cumptich and is an animated version of his high-concept and appealing picture book, Bembo's Zoo,* in which animals are made from stylish letters.

	Antonia: Baroque Women V Bembo, composer, biography, discography
		Thus begins Antonia Bembo’s cantata for soprano and basso continuo, Clizia, amante del sole, one of the vocal compositions found in her manuscript Produzioni armoniche, compiled at the turn of the 18th century and dedicated to King Louis XIV.
		The book begins with an autobiographical letter revealing that Bembo, a Venetian noblewoman, had left her family and everything behind to come to France.
		The message of Bembo’s cantata may be interpreted as a metaphor that cleverly drew a parallel between her status as the king’s admirer (Clytie) and the “Sun King” Louis XIV (Helios) and served to reinforce the power of the message of her dedicatory letter.
