Project overview
Manutius Network 2015 was created under the auspices of CERL to mark the 500th anniversary of Aldus Manutius’s death. The network brought together conferences, seminars and exhibitions celebrating the life and legacy of the renowned Venetian printer and his family press, active from 1494 to 1598. Over 40 events were organised across Europe, North America and Asia, including major exhibitions in Venice, London, Oxford, Madrid, New York and Tokyo, highlighting the enduring influence of Aldus and the Aldine Press on book history and humanist culture.
