Giovanni Andrea Bussi

Giovanni Andrea Bussi (1417–1475), also Giovan de' Bussi or Joannes Andreae, is an Italian Renaissance humanist and the Bishop of Aleria (from 1469).

He is a major editor of classical texts and produces many incunabular editiones principes (first editions).

In his hands the preface is expanded from its former role as a private letter to a patron, to become a public lecture, and at times a bully pulpit.
