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.
