In 1505, Manutius married Maria, the daughter of Andrea Torresani of [[Asola, Lombardy|Asola]].{{sfn|Barolini|1992|p=84}} Torresani and Manutius were already business partners, but the marriage combined the two partners' shares in the publishing business. After the marriage, Manutius lived at Torresani's house. Shrinking in popularity, in 1506 the Aldine Press was moved to a house now covered by a bank building in the Venice square, ''Campo Manin''.{{sfn|Fletcher III|1988|pp=1–8}}

In March 1506, Manutius decided to travel for six months in search of new and reliable manuscripts. While travelling with a guide, Manutius was stopped by border guards of the [[Marquisate of Mantua]] who were looking for two criminals. Manutius's guide ran in fear, taking with him all of Manutius's personal effects. This suspicious activity led the guards to arrest Manutius. Manutius knew the Marquis of Mantua, [[Francesco II Gonzaga, Marquess of Mantua|Francesco Gonzaga]], and wrote letters to him to explain the situation, but it took six days until Manutius's imprisonment was brought to Gonzaga's attention. While waiting, Manutius spent five days in jail in [[Villa Romana del Casale|Casal Romano]] and another night in Canneto. He was eventually released by [[Geoffroy Carles]], president of the Milanese Senate. A new, improved edition of [[Horace]] (after 30 March 1509){{sfn|Grant|2017|pp=85–88}} with an accompanying work by Manutius on Horatian metrics dedicated to Carles was contingent on this experience and Manutius's connection with Carles.{{sfn|Fletcher III|1988|pp=7–13}}

Manutius wrote his will on 16 January 1515 instructing [[Giulio Campagnola]] to provide capital letters for the Aldine Press's italic type.{{sfn|Beltramini|Gasparotto|2016|p=131}} He died the next month, 6 February, and "with his death, the importance of Italy as a seminal and dynamic force in printing came to an end."{{sfn|Blumenthal|1973|p=11}} Torresani and his two sons carried on the business during the youth of Manutius's children, and eventually [[Paulus Manutius|Paulus]], Manutius's son, born 1512, took over the business. [[Paulus Manutius|Paulus]] won a lawsuit against his Torresani relatives for sole ownership of Manutius's italic typeface and in 1539 led the press with the Sons of Aldus imprint alongside his brothers until his death in 1574.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Farrington |first=Lynne |date=2015 |title="Though I could lead a quiet and peaceful life, I have chosen one full of toil and trouble":1 Aldus Manutius and the printing history of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili |journal=Word & Image |volume=31 |issue=2 |pages=88–101 |doi=10.1080/02666286.2015.1023076 |s2cid=193189159 |via=Taylor & Francis Online}}</ref> The publishing symbol and motto were never wholly abandoned by the [[Aldine Press]] until the expiration of their firm in its third generation of operation by [[Aldus Manutius the Younger]].{{sfn|Symonds|1911|p=625}}

Manutius dreamed of a [[trilingual]] Bible but never saw it come to fruition.{{sfn|Fletcher III|1988}} However, before his death Manutius had begun an edition of the [[Septuagint]], also known as the Greek [[Old Testament]] translated from [[Hebrew]], the first-ever to be published; it [[Aldine Bible|appeared posthumously in 1518]].{{sfn|Symonds|1911|p=624}}
