“Aldine Incunabula: mapping the distribution, use, and collecting of the earliest
production of Aldus Manutius”.
A talk by Dr Geri Della Rocca de Candal to accompany the exhibition “Aldus Manutius
and the Renaissance book”, Eton College Library, June - December 2015 (curated by

Capturing the material evidence of surviving copies printed by Aldus in the 15th Century –
their former owners’ marks of ownership, bindings and manuscript annotations –
in one single database is allowing scholars to detect trends of distribution, use, and
later collecting of this extraordinary production as never before.
13 October 2015, 6.20pm, followed by drinks,
Election Hall, Eton College.
Exhibition private view and curator tours 3pm – 6pm, with tea offered at 4pm.
