Published in 2015 by The Grolier Club, this volume is the definitive scholarly companion to the landmark exhibition celebrating the 500th anniversary of the legendary Venetian printer Aldus Manutius. The book is elegantly bound in dark green cloth featuring the iconic Aldine dolphin and anchor device—a symbol of the motto Festina Lente ("Make Haste Slowly")—crisply embossed in gold gilt on the upper cover. Designed by the renowned Jerry Kelly, it is typeset in "Grolier," a custom typeface inspired by the seminal Aldine Roman fonts of the 1490s See less
