Aldus at 500: Digitizing the Wosk-McDonald Aldine Collection at SFU

Online from August 2015, Simon Fraser Univeristy (8888 University Dr, Burnaby, BC V5A 1S6, Canada)

2015 is Simon Fraser University’s fiftieth anniversary; it is also the five-hundredth anniversary of the death of one of the leading figures in the history of bookmaking: the Venetian scholar, printer, and publisher Aldus Manutius. To mark these occasions, Publishing@SFU and SFU Library’s Special Collections and Rare Books are joining forces to create an online resource comprising a world-class selection of Aldines from the Wosk-McDonald Collection, acquired by the University in 1995.
