introduced in the sanie letter, are sufficiently curious ; but of these, as
well as of the larg’e wood-cut at the end, fac-sirailes are reserved for a
future work.
On the recto of the first leaf, without prefix, we read as follovvs :

This address ends on the recto of the second leaf. Below, in red, we
read

There are, occasionally, interlineations; and a full page contains 28
lines. On the recto of the last leaf we notice a large wood-cut of St.
Mcirtin, who is sitting in a Gotliic chair, and turning a little to the left
—his lesthand is elevated, aboutto fall upon a lame mendicant (whose
crutch lies transversely beneatli him) kneeling, and soliciting alms.
Above this sainted bishop, to the right, are the arms of the metropolitan
chureh: to the left, are those of the archbishop Dietherus, the author
of the compilation. Below St. Martin, are the arms of Bernard de
Breidenbach (at that time a canon of the cathedral of Mentz) and'of
Camerarius.* I should add, that the figures of the bishop and beggar
are enclosed witlxin a Gothic-shaped arch, having a ssowery ornament
running in the middle of it. Beneath the entire decoration is the
colophon, thus :

ancestor of Gutenberg, is given in the title-page of Wurdtwein’s book.
