Paulus Manutius

Paulus Manutius (Italian: Paolo Manuzio; 1512 – 1574) was a Venetian printer and the third son of Aldus Manutius.

Biography

Paulus's father Aldus was a friend and ally to artist Leonardo da Vinci, and was involved in the latter's research on the havens, being entrusted with a clue, but died before he could hand it off to the Assassins. After his death in 1515, Paulus, along with his uncle and grandfather, took over Aldine Press. Leonardo contacted Paulus and asked that he also take upon the responsability of keeping the clue safe. In May 1519, Paulus was visited at the printing shop by an Assassin seeking Aldus, and he gave them clue as requested.
