Description
This is the first published biography of Aldus Manutius. As with the work by Domenico Manni displayed nearby, this biography, written by Christian Gottlieb Unger (1671–1719) and published many years after his own death, includes a shortlist of titles printed by Aldus. The list is far from comprehensive and includes no bibliographical details.
