Aldus@SFU

The Wosk–McDonald Aldine Collection

1512 [1517] Juvenal: Iuvenalis. Persius.

The date of this second edition is challenging. The book’s colophon claims 1501, which is the date of the first Aldine edition. The original SFU cataloguing claimed 1512. But a number of bibliographic facts – such as the version of the anchor-and-dolphin device --place this edition much later: after Aldus’ death. Fletcher makes a compelling case for this edition for being after 1512, and argues for 1515. See Fletcher, H. George. New Aldine Studies: Documentary Essays on the Life and Work of Aldus Manutius. B.M. Rosenthal, 1988. 128ff.

David Shaw suggests the date is 1517. See https://juv2.djshaw.co.uk/index.php?title=Juv097_:_Venice,_Aldus_Manutius_and_Andrea_d’Asola_(i.e._Gian_Francesco_d’Asola),_‘1501’_%3D_1517%3F and https://docs.bibsoc.org.uk/juvenal/juv-pdfs/Juv097.pdf
