Printer's device on t.p. and verso of final leaf; spaces with guide letters for capitals.
De viris illustribus, attributed by Aldus to Pliny, is spurious.
Edited by Aldo Manuzio.
First Aldine ed. and first complete edition of these Epistles.
First Aldine ed. in which complete pagination is used.
This is the first book to include Andreas Asulanus (Torresani) as Aldus' partner.
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."
This text was probably printed from the VIth cent. ms. of which some leaves are in the Morgan Library & Museum (MS M. 462).
