Title
Le terze rime di Dante
Description
Aldus Manutius (1449-1515), active in Venice, was an Italian printer, credited for the invention of Italic type, as well as “pocket” format books (chiefly the octavo, which was easily portable, in contrast to the very large formats popular at the time). He was also said to have established the modern use of the semi- colon and revived the use of the comma. Manutius’ printing efforts were concentrated primarily on the texts of the Ancient Greek authors, such as Aesop, Xenophon, Theocritius and Homer, among others. Manutius first used his printer’s device in 1501. It depicts a dolphin wrapped around an anchor. This emblem would be copied by various dubious printers, hoping to piggyback on Manutius’ fame.
