https://bit.ly/2M3fDa7 This volume presents six papers from a
one-day colloquium held at the Warburg Institute in February 2015
on the legacy of Aldus Manutius, marking the 500th anniversary of
his death, together with three additional contributions. Rather
than examining Aldus's own output, the nine papers focus on how the
notion of `Aldine books' has changed over 500 years in Europe and
North America, from the early days of the Aldine press to modern
and contemporary book collecting and the antiquarian trade. The
volume also includes a catalogue of the exhibition `Collecting the
Renaissance: The Aldine Press (1494-1598)', held in the British
Library in conjunction with the colloquium. Addressing a wide
readership of scholars, booksellers and collectors, The Afterlife
of Aldus aims to stimulate further research on areas fundamental
for understanding Aldus's long-lasting fortuna. The conference, the
exhibition and this volume have received generous financial support
from the Bibliographical Society, CERL and Bernard Quaritch Ltd.
