	The [[Aldine Press]], established in 1494, had its first publication in March 1495: ''Erotemata cum interpretatione Latina'' by [[Constantine Lascaris]]. Andrea Torresani and [[Pier Francesco Barbarigo]], nephew of the [[Doge of Venice\|Doge]], [[Agostino Barbarigo]], each held fifty percent of the press. Of Torresani's fifty percent, Manutius was given one-fifth, but accounts are unclear as to whether Manutius's one-fifth refers to ten percent of the Aldine Press or ownership exclusively to one-fifth of Torresani's share.

	Manutius relied on [[Marcus Musurus]], [[Ioannis Grigoropoulos]], and other Greek collaborators to translate for the Aldine Press. He published an edition of minor Greek [[orator]]s (1508) and the lesser works of [[Plutarch]] (1509). Printing work halted again while the [[League of Cambrai]] tried to lessen Venice's influence. Manutius reappeared in 1513 with an edition of Plato that he dedicated to [[Pope Leo X]] in a preface that compares the miseries of warfare and the woes of [[Italy]] with the sublime and tranquil objects of the student's life.

	With the Aldine Press's increasing popularity, people would come to visit the shop, interrupting Manutius's work. Manutius put up a sign that read, "Whoever you are, Aldus asks you again and again what it is you want from him. State your business briefly and then immediately go away."

Manutius put up a sign that read, "Whoever you are, Aldus asks you again and again what it is you want from him. State your business briefly and then immediately go away." Although a fuller account gives some light on the sign:
			:"Whoever you are, Aldus earnestly begs you to state your business in the fewest possible words and be gone, unless, like Hercules to weary Atlas, you would lend a helping hand. There will always be enough work for you and all who come this way."

	Manutius strove for excellence in [[typography]] and book design while publishing lower-cost editions. This was carried out under continual difficulties, including problems arising from strikes among his workmen, unauthorized use of Manutius's materials by rivals, and frequent interruptions by war.
