======  The Afterlife of Aldus: Posthumous Fame, Collectors and the Book Trade ======
 


**6 February 2015**, Warburg Institute (Woburn Square, London WC1H 0AB)

Organized by Paolo Sachet and Jill Kraye

This one-day colloquium is devoted the **legacy** of Aldus Manutius and will take place on the anniversary of his death. Rather than examining his own output, which has already received a vast amount of scholarly attention, the focus will be on far less studied topics related to his later fame and reputation. The main theme is how the notion of ‘**Aldine books**’ has changed over 500 years. Ten speakers, divided into three panels, will deliver papers of 25–30 minutes. Each two-hour panel will include 20 minutes of discussion at the end.

**Speakers**: Lodovica Braida, François Dupuigrenet Desroussilles, Shanti Graheli, Kristian Jensen, Alessandro Ledda, Raphaële Mouren, Nicholas Poole-Wilson, Paolo Sachet and Julianne Simpson.

Fee £25 (£12.50 concessionary rate for full-time students/retired)
