1559 ALDINE PRESS CICERO BY PAULI MANUTII ANTIQUE VELLUM BINDING 16TH CENTURY
M. TULLII CICERONIS ORATIONUM
Pars III
Cum correctionibus Pauli Manutii
Venice, [Aldus], 1559
Paoli Manutii led his father’s famous Aldine Press from a concentration on ancient Greek texts, his father’s love, to a concentration on classical Latin texts, his own love.
In particular, Paoli maintained a life-long passion for Cicero.
He restored the reputation of the Aldine Press by publishing scholarly editions of Cicero’s letters and orations.
Much of the correcting and editing was his own. He continued with his work on Cicero by adding commentary.
