A wood-cut, with the letters it)0, and an appropriate surrounding
description, is beneath. Only the first leaf of each signature is
designated by the letter. Panzer properly remarks that this book is
printed in the types of Gerard de Leeu. It is the smallest character of
that printer. Annal. Typog. vol. i. p. 12. The ornaments of this little
volume consist of small wood-cuts of figures, very neatly executed, and
borders of fruit and flowers. This copy is elegantly bound in red
morocco, by C. Lewis.

The Missals of Kerver upon paper (as is the copy before us) are
probably rarer than those upon vellum: but the profusion of wood-cuts
with which they are generally adorned, renders their appearance upon
the latter material more beautiful and interesting. The title of this
Missal is thus-— above the device of the printer : *

The almanack, for xx years, is on the reverse: beginning with ] 494
and ending with 1520. The calendar follows, with embellishments
appropriate to the respect.ive months. On the reverse of a viij, is the
first of the larger cuts—representing St. John in the boiling caldron.
The 1st chapter of his Gospel commences beneath. The earlier impres-
sions of The Salisbury Missal, executed abroad, are curious in pre-
senting us with the style of English orthography at that period. Thus,
on the reverse of i iij, is the first prayer in it which appears to be
printed in our own language: [O] Glorious iesu O mekest iesu O most
swettest iesu I pray the that I may haue trew confessio cotrictid ad
* The device of Kerver, with those of all the early French printers of Missals, will be
found in the Bibliographical Decameron: accompanied with numerous fac-similes of the
embeliisliments in those splendid publications.
