Aldus Manutius was the patriarch of a family of printers which included his sons and other family members as well as partnerships with several others including Pietro Bembo of the familiar font beloved of book designers for its gracefulness. Aldus also introduced italic type, and produced books in the smaller octavo size intended for portability and ease of reading. After Aldus’ death in 1515, the press was continued by his wife and her father, Andrea Torresani, until his son Paulus took over. His grandson, Aldus Manutius the Younger took over and ran the firm until 1597. As a firm, they were responsible for the introduction of the idea of the “portable book” or “editio minor” which allowed for books to travel with their owners rather than the folio volumes popular at the time which were cumbersome and expensive. The italic typeface was copied extensively and many editions were pirated causing Aldus to use as his publisher’s device the image of a dolphin wrapped around an anchor, taken from an old silver coin with the motto “Festina Lente.”On offer is a copy of Paulus Manutius’ third volume of letters written in the style of Cicero. In Excellent Condition, it is bound in vellum with bent edges and the title inscribed in much faded brown ink on the spine. There are pencil markings, also much faded on the front. There are two small holes on the front near the edge, mirrored on the rear, most likely for some type of ribbon or closure. There is a small hole near the front hinge at the top. The vellum is soiled. Written inside is “Renouard T 2 p. 74”, a reference to the French bibliographer Antoine-Augustin Renouard. There is an inscription of some sort at the bottom of the title page which is illegible and faded. The edges of the block are soiled with some spots and foxing, the top edge moreso than the others. The famous anchor and dolphin printer’s mark is on the title page as well as at the rear. There is some browning to the paper and an occasional spot. Overall, very clean and quite nice. “Epistolarum Pauli Manutii Libri . IIX Tribus nuper additis: Eiusdem quae Praefationis Appellantur”: cum Privilegio Aldus Manutius Paulli.
