This edition is printed in the sarae character of letter as is that of
the Pfister Bible, of which a fac-simile is given at page 9 of vol. i.;
but this latter is taller and more slender. The types have, at the same
time, a resemblance to those of the Gutenberg Bible—see fac-simile,
page 4, of vol. i.; and correspond, pretty much in size and cha-
racter, with the fac-simile which Fischer has caused to be engraved
of the seconcl edition of Donatus, by Gutenberg ; and which is
placed the first in order in his Essai, &c. There is however, as has
been just noticed, no conformity in the descriptions of either of the
editions, by Gutenberg, with the present one. Whether therefore
Pfister or Gutenberg be the printer of it, it is impossible to speak with
decision; but every page of the impression wears so rude an aspect,
that I know of few books which carry a stronger appearance of having
been executed by means of wooden blocks, than the one under de-
scription. It has neither signatures, numerals, nor catchwords; and
every page, except the last, contains 25 lines.
On the recto of tlie first leaf, we read thus:

The edition contains, in the whole, 22 leaves. On tlie recto of fol. 22
there are only 15 lines, the last line consisting of the following words :

The present is a large clean copy, with many rough leaves; and is
bound in blue morocco.
