		Chief among those treasure hunters was the poet Petrarch (1304-74), who went doggedly from monastery to monastery, convent to convent searching for lost treasure, and the printer Aldo Manuzio, whose Venetian press published the first inexpensive editions of Aristophanes, Thucydides, Sophocles, Herodotus, Xenophon, Euripides, Demosthenes, Plato, and Pindar.
