Pliny the Younger

===Manuscripts===

The [[editio princeps|first edition]] of Pliny's ''Epistles'' was published in Italy in 1471. Sometime between 1495 and 1500 [[Giovanni Giocondo]] discovered a manuscript in Paris of Pliny's tenth book of letters, containing his correspondence with Trajan, and published it in Paris, dedicating the work to [[Louis XII]]. The first complete edition was produced by the press of [[Aldus Manutius]] in 1508.<ref>"Iohannem Iucundum architectum illum Veronensem, quem annos 1494–1506 in Gallia egisse novimus, codicem decem librorum Parisiis invenisse testis est Gulielmus Budaeus...Eodem ferme tempore Venetias ad Aldum Manutium editionem suam parantem, quae anno 1508 proditura erat, epistulas ex eodem vetustissimo codice descriptas misit ipse Iucundus."
