in the dedication, Aldus after having omitted the
epistle altogether in his 1504 edition, in that of 1513 quietly
substituted the name of Nicolas V., the earlier and worthier patron,
without a word of change in the language of the dedication itself. Later
editions have followed the example of Aldus.
John of Cologne, established as a printer at Venice as early as 1471,
was associated 1472-1473 with Wendelin of Speier, whose business and
types he took over in 1474. He had as partner, 1474-1480, John Manthen,
and in 1480, Nicolas Jenson. The type of the _Aristotle_ is a close
imitation of the first font of John and Wendelin of Speier.
