Aldus Manutius and the Renaissance Book: Early Printing in the Eton College Collections

27 May - 16 December 2015, Eton College Library (Windsor, SL4 6DB)

Curated by John Goldfinch and Stephie Coane

This exhbition dedicated mainly to Aldine incunabula will be accompanied by a talk by Dr Geri Della Rocca de Candal. 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.

Talk on 13 October 2015, 6.20pm, followed by drinks, Election Hall, Eton College.
