		With Aldine book scans and keen comparisons, a case is made for the possibility that Francesco Griffo and Aldus Manutius had “in-house norms” that could still be applied today.
		I spent some time analyzing contours of Aldine italic impressions and it seems to me that there were at least 2 italic types in use at Aldine press between 1501 and 1519.
		Many of those that I have seen were, and water used in cleaning takes the impression away leaving only the ink and as such possibly misleading since ink that may have accumulated in the relief sides, and somewhat visually hidden, is now exposed in a planar sort of exaggeration.

		The book was printed at the Aldine Press in Venice, a publishing and printing house set up in the 1490s by Aldus Manutius, the leading figure of his time in printing, publishing, and typography, and the founder of a dynasty of great printer-publishers.
		Scholars estimate that the Aldine family, in all, in the 100 years between 1495 and 1595, at the very dawn of the craft of printing, brought out editions of a thousand different book titles, typesetting each edition, and printing and binding each copy of each one by hand.
		Indeed the style and layout of the original Aldine book is followed closely, and the translated version is as similar in appearance to the original as possible.

	SFU Library - Aldus Pius Manutius
		In the first years of the press, Aldus conformed to the established practice, but after 1500 he began producing smaller, more manageable books, in which the text was unencumbered by commentaries.
		Despite economies of scale made possible by the printing press, his books remained relatively expensive: the price of an Aldine Latin Octavo -- the Greek books were more expensive -- was equivalent to one or two days' salary of a Venetian schoolmaster, comparable at least to the price of a good modern scholarly monograph.
		The growth of research into the history of the book over the last two decades has contributed to Aldine studies, while the development of techniques for the analysis of ink and paper have provided new insights into the printing practices of the 15th and 16th centuries.
