Abstract
<i>In Praise of Aldus Manutius: A Quincentenary Exhibition</i>, by H. George Fletcher

The exhibitions, one on each coast, and the catalogue are the product of two major research libraries, the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York and the Department of Special Collections at the Research Library of the University of Californiia, Los Angeles, which combined their efforts to present as complete apicture as possible of the Aldine Press
One of the attractions of this particular publication is its extension beyond a discussion of the original founder of the Press to include the heirs and their collaborators, and others who continued to employ the Aldine imprint throughout a whole century, from 1495 to I599
The foreword and the preface contain interesting historical sketches of these two major American Aldine collections, one, going back to the turn of the century, held at the Pierpont Morgan Library, the other, built up over the last thirtyfive years housed at the University of Californiia
