At Bologna Cardan went first to live in a hired house in the Via Gombru. Aldo was nominally a member of his household; but his presence must have been a plague rather than a comfort to his father, and he took with him likewise his orphan grandson, the son of Gian Battista and Brandonia, whom he destined to make his heir on account of Aldo's ill conduct.
Among her intimate acquaintances were also the famous Latinist, Cortesi; the youthful Sardoleto, the familiar of Cardinal Cibò; young Aldo Manuzio; the intellectual brothers Rafael and Mario Maffei of Volterra; and Egidio of Viterbo, who subsequently became famous as a pulpit orator and was made a cardinal. The last maintained his connection with Lucretia while she was Duchess of Ferrara.
If, however, we look through the history of Venetian literature which Francesco Sansovino has appended to his well-known book, we shall find in the fourteenth century almost nothing but history, and special works on theology, jurisprudence, and medicine; and in the fifteenth century, till we come to Ermolao Barbaro and Aldo Manuzio, humanistic culture is, for a city of such importance, most scantily represented.
This drawing, which the princess describes in a letter to the painter as being ni carbone and not in colours, is now one of the treasures of the Louvre, and has an inestimable value, both as the work of Leonardo and as a genuine portrait of the most brilliant lady of the Renaissance. Gazette des B. Arts, 1879, p. 514. Renier, Sonetti di Pistoia p. 35. A. Baschet, Aldo Manuzio, pp. 70-75.

But dis day when dey come to de creek, it had done washed all de logs 'way. 'Twuz still mighty high, so Marse Chan he put Miss Anne down, an' he took a pole an' waded right in.
Another of Isabella's favourite artists, Maestro Lorenzo, the gifted organ-maker, was absent from court, and had left his old home at Pavia to take up his abode at Venice near his friend Aldo Manuzio, the printer. But during this visit the Marchesa saw "the beautiful and perfect clavichord" which he had made for Beatrice, and vowed to leave no stone unturned until she had obtained a similar one.
"He didn't kick me," said Basset, indignantly. "'Twas a regular assault with a club, I tell you." "Well, I shouldn't like sich salt on my shoulder, aldo dey say, salt bery good to keep de wound from catching cold." "I tell you what, darkey," cried the constable, losing patience at the other's sneers. "You talk like an old fool.
Some of the words ran this way: "Aldo you sees me go 'long so, I has my trials here below, Sometimes I'se up, sometimes I'se down, Sometimes I'se lebel wid de groun; Oh, git out, Satan Hallalu!" And these words sound queer to you as you read them, perhaps, but they did not sound queer when Mammy Delphy was singing them.
Ike, you and I might make turkey money for Thanksgiving if we only knew whether Barry and his bunch were going to shoot her up thirty or forty points before they turned the bag upside down, or whether they will bury them from 200 to 150. What do you think?" "I gant make out, aldo I haf vatched dem sharp all day. Dey certainly haf deh lambs lined up right now for any vey dey vont to twist id.

He was seized with convulsions and lost his senses, but I battled with the disease and brought him round.
