- OCLC 806221148 lists a digital reproduction of the copy in: Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze -- Nencini Aldine collection. Aldine Press was the printing office started by Aldus Manutius in 1494 in Venice, After Aldus’ death in 1515 the press was continued by his wife, Maria and her father, Andrea Torresani, until his son, Paulus Manutius (1512-1574) took over. His grandson Aldus Manutius the Younger then ran the firm until his death in 1597. The Aldine Press is famous in the history of typography, among other things, for the introduction of italics. The press was the first to issue printed books in the small octavo size, similar to that of a modern paperback, and like that intended for portability and ease of reading. This is a collection of the ancient Roman laws compiled by Paulus Manutius (1512-1574), and first published in Venice in 1557. This edition, the first in small octavo, with a privilege of the French King, is published in the same year by the Aldine agency in Paris, but their commercial success was affected by many counterfeit editions, produced in Lyons and elsewhere.
