Humanism and the Latin Classics

Aldus Manutius (c. 1451-1515) was the most important scholarly publisher of the Renaissance. His Aldine Press was responsible for more first editions of classical literature, philosophy, and science than any other publisher before or since. This volume presents Aldus's prefaces to Latin classics and modern humanist writers, translated into English.
