MANUZIO, Paolo, son of the preceding, was born at Venice in 1512, and after the death of his father remained under the care of his maternal uncle, Andrea Torresano. After his uncle's death in 1529, the printing establishment was re-opened in 1533, for the common benefit of the heirs of Aldo and Andrea d'Asola, with Paolo at its head. In imitation of his father, he sought the assistance of learned men, of whose counsels he availed himself; published new editions, particularly of the Latin classics, much more correct than the preceding ones; and enriched them with prefaces, notes, and indexes, the usefulness of which now began to be felt. On the erection of the Venetian Academy in 1558, Paolo Manuzio was appointed professor of eloquence and director of the academical press. On the dissolution of this institution in 1561, a letter from Cardinal Scipione induced Paolo to repair to Rome, in order to superintend the impression of the works of the Fathers. The first work which proceeded from the new printing establishment was a small treatise of Cardinal Pole, De Concilio et Reformatione Angliæ, dated 1562. He died on the 6th April 1574. During the last years of his life his presses had begun to decline, yet Paolo Manuzio, as a printer and editor, was equal to his illustrious father; and his works place him in the rank of the best critics and most polished writers of his age. These were,—Epistolarum libri xii. Praefationes, 3c., Venice, 1580, in 8vo; Lettere Volgari divise in quattro libri, ibid. 1560, in 8vo; Degli Elementi e di loro notabili Effetti, ibid. 1557, in 4to; Antiquitatum Romanarum liber de Legibus, ibid. 1557, in folio, with an ample index; Liber de Senatu Romano, ibid. 1581, in 4to; De Comitibus Romanorum, Bologna, 1585, in folio; De Civitate Romana, Rome, 1585, in 4to. These four last treatises have been inserted in the Theaurus Antiquitatum Romanarum, tom. i. and ii. Manuzio translated into Latin the Philippics of Demosthenes, Venice, 1549, 1552, in 4to; and he published Commentaries on the Familiar Letters of Cicero, the Letters to Atticus, Brutus, and Quintus; and the Orations, as well as Scholia, on the oratorical and philosophical treatises of the same author.
