Abstract	The transition from paper to digital is reconfiguring the practice of learning and teaching. The survival of the textbook itself, as we have conceived it so far, is debatable. Looking back in our past can offer a stimulus for ample reflection and, abandoning cultural automatism, we are granted a perception of the textbook as tool not to be discounted. The textbook carried out a series of fundamental functions that can today represent the grounds for a correct design of a truly innovative textual format. The Library of INDIRE that boasts a very rich collection of textbooks of different ages, from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, represents an important resource for the reconstruction of history, in such a crucial moment. Analyzing the library fund allows us to study some fundamental topics, which are particularly useful for the prefiguration of new textbooks or whatever didactic tools will take their place in schools. This chapter focuses on four central issues. The first concerns the role of the textbook as a substitute for the teacher's voice. The second point targets the use of illustrations as a replacement of primary experience, but also as an element for lightening the practice of study. The third point focuses on the typographic aspects of the texts, which are functional for learning. Finally, the fourth point draws attention to the act of re-writing that allows the student to obtain knowledge in a better way. Our idea is that we have to learn so much from the past, even if we have to radically change our conception of textbook.
