 ALDUS MANUTIUS (1449-1515)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Aldus began his career as a humanist teacher and became known to the most important humanist circles of the time before coming to Venice around 1490.
Aldus' publishing activity, in contrast to the vast majority of printing during the incunable period, was inspired by clear cultural and intellectual goals in addition to economic ones.
The revolutionary impact of Aldus' editions is readily apparent when the elegant portable octavo of his 1502 Dante, printed in beautiful italic type without commentary, is compared to the ponderous incunabula of the previous decade which buried Dante's text beneath exegetical commentary.

 Aldus v. State
Aldus testified at the post-conviction hearing that she told Geller she did not stab her husband, that she had been drinking that night and did not remember everything, but she did remember that she did not stab her husband.
Aldus testified that she and Geller discussed "dead time."{3} She understood that if her case was continued to another day for trial, the time in jail would not count toward any eventual sentence.
Aldus testified at the post-conviction hearing that Geller did not tell her that a continuance could be requested and if she had known that a continuance was possible, "I would have taken a continuance." She further testified that she did not think she would be found guilty at a trial, because she was innocent.

 Aldus, P.J. "Literary Myth."   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Aldus uses both Plato’s and Aristotle’s ideologies to precisely define certain literary techniques and how they are perfected in Shakespeare’s _Hamlet_.
Aldus specifies three of Plato’s ideas on poetry (or any high styled—writing for that matter) as significant to _Hamlet_: imitation of the poet as "art without truth," possession as the poet’s empowered use of literary knowledge, and invention as the use of rhetorical devices (21).
Aldus explains certain terms in depth, for as he correctly points out, they "often have irrelevant popular meanings that create confusions and misinterpretations" (29).

 Aldus
Venice was the great repository of Greek manuscripts at that time.In 1490, Aldus founded the Aldine Press in Venice, assembling a staff of Greek scholars and compositors, and making Greek the official language of his business and household.
Aldus' desire to produce books cheaply led to the invention of the italic.
The most important result of the italic type and the octavo page was the immediate lowering of the cost of printing, making it affordable to the public and it became a great service for travelling scholars.

In his discussion of the "mythic madness in _Hamlet_," Aldus states that it is irrelevant to his argument whether Hamlet’s madness is feigned or real (211).
This in mind, Aldus argues that madness is an essential element for the tragic protagonist.
Madness as Shakespeare’s dramatic means, Aldus argues that "it seems reasonable to postulate the fact of schizophrenia as preliminary to attempts to formulate metaphoric parallel to Hamlet in the prison of his mind" (213).

Aldus Manutius (a Latinized form of the Italian name Aldo Manuzio, hereinafter referred to simply as "Aldus") was born in about the year 1449 and died in 1515 Common Era.
Aldus may have obtained this Latin translation from Friar Zanobi Acciaioli of the San Marco Monastery Library in Florence, or so it could be presumed at first glance.
Aldus was a broad-minded but nevertheless devout Catholic, and he was surely aware of the "controversy" and "heresy" surrounding this biography.

 The Aldus Adobe Merger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Aldus and Adobe have finally merged, after a series of negotiations which came perilously close to collapsing, and required Aldus to release the Freehand graphics product which it markets under license from Altsys Corporation, after Altsys claimed that it would be unfairly hampered by Adobe's competing product Illustrator.
This merger is all about electronic publishing and creates a company that is not only one of the largest software vendors (their combined revenues for last year would have been about $520 Million, putting them in the big five with Microsoft, Lotus, and Novell), but surely the only large vendor of electronic publishing software.
Aldus has focused on the marketing of software, so they may be a good match for Adobe (which is largely a technology empire), helping them, for instance, with sales in Europe, where Aldus is much stronger.
