Aldus. In the preface is found the often quoted inscription placed over
the door of Aldus to discourage the idle visitor: _Quisquis es: rogat te
Aldus etiam: atque etiam: ut, si quid est, quod a se velis: perpaucis
agas_, etc. The edition of 1533, with the imprint _in ædibus haeredum
Aldi Manutii Romani & Andreae Asulani Soceri_ and a short preface by
Paulus Manutius (it was his first book as director of the press) is also
essentially unchanged, but his edition of 1546, in octavo, was
thoroughly revised in text and accompanied by a folio volume of variorum
commentaries.

Bound by Roger Payne, in blue morocco, gilt edges, with cipher of Sir
Mark Masterman Sykes on back, at whose sale in 1824 it brought
£1.11s.6d. The Syston Park copy with book-plate, and monogram of Sir
John Hayford Thorold. Leaf 8-1/2 × 5-1/4 in.
