Summary/Abstract: The study deals with some of the valorous books from Satu Mare County Library special collection, that were printed at Venice, one of the most important typographic center, during the XVIth century. There are also very important information about the typographic activity of Aldus and Paulus Manutius, whose contribution to some of the books the study deals with, is evident: the first edition of Titus Vespasianus and Hercules Strozzius’ poems, published in 1513, and Cicero’ s correspondence, first printed in 1559. Finally, the study presents Dialogo della degnita dell huomo, published in 1575, but still unknown to many of the researchers; and the last book the study deals with, is a selection of fables, most of them written by Esop, but there is also the contribution of other writers.
