In 1554 the subscription assumed the new form _apud Paulum Manutium Aldi
F._, showing that Paulus had acquired his brothers' rights in the press.
At the same time he returned to the earlier and simpler form of the
anchor with the name _Aldus_, instead of the _Aldi filii_ and the
ornamental border in use since 1546. Sometimes, as in the present
volume, the subscription is omitted altogether and the anchor with the
name Aldus alone used. Here moreover the place and date appear only on
the title-page and the colophon is dropped as no longer useful.

The original Greek text of Ptolemy's Planisphere is lost. To the present
Latin translation, made by an unknown hand from the Arabic, is appended
(fol. 25) this subscription: _Facta est translatio haec Tolosae Cal.
Iunii Anno Domini MCXLIIII_. The revival of the study of the Greek
mathematicians in the sixteenth century was largely due to the admirable
translations and commentaries of Federigo Commandino of Urbino
(1509-75). This edition of Ptolemy's Planisphere still remains the best.
In the same year Paulus printed _Archimedis Opera nonnulla a Federico
Commandino Vrbinate nuper in latinum conversa et commentariis
illustrata_.
