Notes
De viris illustribus, attributed by Aldus to Pliny, is spurious.
Edited by Aldo Manuzio.
In his preface, Aldus tells how the manuscript was secured by Aloisio Mocenigo: "Has Plinii Epistolas in Italiam reportasti, in membrana scriptas, atque adeo diuersis a nostris characteribus, ut nisi quis diu assueuerit non queat legere ... Est enim uolumen ipsum non solum correctissimum, sed etiam ita antiquum ut putem scriptum Plinii temporibus."
Includes index.
Italic type, Roman headings.
Printer's device on t.p. and verso of final leaf; spaces with guide letters for capitals.
Publication information from colophon.
This is the first book to include Andreas Asulanus (Torresani) as Aldus' partner.
This text was probably printed from the VIth cent. ms. of which some leaves are in the Morgan Library & Museum (MS M. 462).
