Aldus Manutius : printer and publisher of Renaissance Venice / Martin Davies.

64 pages : illustrations (1 color) ; 25 cm

From the spring of 1495 the Aldine Press undertook a vast and novel programme of making the written remains of Greek Antiquity widely and systematically available to the scholarly public of Renaissance Europe. Aldus also printed many Latin and Italian texts in cheaper formats in the famous Aldine italic. This study introduces the prince of printers under his various aspects, as a scholar and businessman, editor and typographer, in commemoration of the quincentenary of his first publication. The illustrations are drawn largely from Aldines in the collections of The British Library. -- Provided by publisher.
