      ab: The article discusses the biography "Aldus Manutius: The Invention of the Publisher" by Oren Margolis, which explores the life and impact of Aldo Manuzio, a significant figure in Renaissance publishing. It highlights Manuzio's role in the commercialization of classical literature and humanism, as well as his contributions to the development of the italic type and the concept of publishing in the early modern period. The review notes that while Margolis provides a detailed portrait of Manuzio and his educational influences, it suggests that the discussion on copyright and intellectual property could have been more extensive. Overall, the biography is presented as a valuable resource for understanding Manuzio's legacy in the context of Renaissance literature and publishing.
