About the house

A careful edition, one title at a time

Amicus Certus was founded to give a proper edition to texts that deserved more than a loose file: long-form legal essays, courtroom vignettes, and documentary works that rescue their subjects from oblivion. Every title is prepared with its own proofreading pass, a consistent collection layout, and careful translation whenever the original calls for it.

  • Expert copyeditingDouble philological and dictionary review applied to every manuscript before layout.
  • A collection with a faceRecognizable covers and layout: navy blue, gold and cream.
  • Careful translationTitles also available in English and Italian, depending on the work.
