Aldus Manutius, the Younger (Italian: Aldo Manuzio Il Giovane; 1547-1597) was the grandson of Aldus Manutius and son of Paulus Manutius. He was the last member of the Manuzio family to be active in the Aldine Press that his grandfather founded. A child prodigy, he wrote, at the age of fourteen, a treatise on Latin spelling, "Orthographiae Ratio". [ [http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Manutius Manutius. - LoveToKnow 1911] ] He is known to have stated that the purpose of grammar is the clarification of syntax. In 1575 he published his "Epitome orthographiae". In 1590 he was called to Rome under Pope Clement VIII to run the Press of the Vatican. In 1597 he died without any heirs to take over his business.
