ALDUS MANUTIUS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF GREEK SCRIPT AND TYPE IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY.

      With original leaves from the first Aldine editions of Aristotle, 1497; Crastonus' Dictionarium Graecum, 1497; Euripides, 1503; and the Septuagint, 1518. Sandy Hook: Chiswick, 1985. 9 x 13. xiv, 115 pages plus 4 original leaves. 46 illustrations in the text. Red cloth gilt, matching slipcase. One corner of the case is bumped, book is as new, with prospectus. One of 200 copies. The four original Aldine leaves bring together all of Aldus' Greek type, providing a substantial opportunity for comparing them. An important study, beautifully produced by Stephen Harvard & Stinehour Press.
