From the introduction: "..Aldine imprints have always been collected, and the interest in their editorial and typographical achievement has sustained the supply and demand of a market for 500 years. Every generation has known its Aldine collectors, from Jean Grolier (the Paris representative of the Press) in the 16th century to Giorgio Uzielli and UCLA in our own time. The sale - in this quincentenary year of Aldus's first production - of almost one hundred carefully chosen Aldines is an important event, as a collection of this size and importance has not been offered at auction since the Fortescue sale at Christie's two dozen years ago." Index of authors, editors and translators; index of provenances (including binders). Very Good. List of prices realized laid in.
