thread_title: Vandalism?

message: According to Lynne Truss, Eats, Shoots and Leaves, Gotham Books (2004), ISBN1-592-40087-6, p.78, he had a grandson of the same name, known to history as Aldus Manutius the Younger, also a typographer of some note, though not of equal note. We should probably clarify that somehow. - Jmabel | Talk 15:54, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I see, we have it, but with a comma. How typographical. We should have a redirect on the version without the comma, I'll do that. - Jmabel | Talk 15:57, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

message: This series of anonymous, uncommented, substantive edits looks probably legit, but it sure begged for an edit summary (or comments here). It cites, in a general way, a recent book on Aldus Manutius but gives no page-specific citations; it changes several ostensible facts that we previously had from the 1911 EB. Again, I'm guessing that this is all correct, but someone should definitely follow up on this and cite more specifically. - Jmabel | Talk 01:36, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Probably good but uncommented edit 

message: Contains orverly flowery, archaic, or difficult to read phrases such as "vast erudition" and "ripe scholars." 
It also contains subjective unsubstantiated claims "with a beauty of type and paper never reached before", "To his fellow workers he was uniformly generous, free from jealousy, and prodigal of praise," describing his work as an "inalienable possession to the world," etc. Breuwi 07:04, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: But you may have Britannica 11 to blame for that, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aldus_Manutius&oldid=549853 . --Charles Gaudette 21:27, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: When you object to the assertion "with a beauty of type and paper never reached before", no doubt you are thinking of the rival claims of Nicolas Jenson, are you not? I see that you are very knowledgeable in the history of the printed book. If Jenson was renowned for his typefaces, but surely Aldus was renowned for his erudition. Is it "vast" that you draw the line at, then? No doubt you are comparing his erudition with that of his rival Francis Robortello, and have found it less than "vast". How lucky this article is, to have the attentions of such knowledgable criticism. --Wetman 23:00, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I feel I should note that it does say "This article incorporates text from the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition" at the bottom of the article, so it is indirectly cited.  Nitwit005 04:57, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Overly flowery and unsubstantiated claims

message: Has anyone noticed that AM "published the First Book on the Principles of Punctuation" more than 50 years after his death? This date should be checked.GJ1535 (talk) 20:20, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Mistery solved: it was his grandson, Aldus Manutius the Younger, and the work is called  Orthographiae Ratio. See: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/433480/Orthographiae-ratio (subscription needed)GJ1535 (talk) 06:53, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Date of the work on punctuation

message: much of this article appears to be taken verbatim from the   [Encyclopedia Britannica, 1911, pg 645]
If that link is broken try searching for "Manutius' enthusiasm for Greek literature was not confined to the printing-room" in books.google.com

message: Italian WP says that the "real name" Teobaldo Mannucci is a gross mistake, with no basis in history, due to an error made by Britannica. --79.51.182.105 (talk) 15:02, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
