LATE IMPRESSIONS OE THE LITTLE PASSION.
After the edition of tlie Little Passion with Latin text was published in 1511, many
impressions were takeu from the blocks and issued without text. These are dis-
tinguished from the proofs by the wear of the blocks and by the watermarks. Erom
these late sets the frontispiece, B. 16, is invariably absent. The block must have been
destroyed, or liave passed into other hands, soon after 1511. The blocks, still in a fair
state of preservation, came in course of time to Yenice, where au edition (without B. 16)
was printed in 1612 with Italian text. Daniel Bissuccio, the publisher, is said to have
bouglit the blocks in the Netherlands. Thirty-five of them (B. 16 and 21 being lost)
are now in the British Museum. Tliey are exactly one inch (25 millimetres) in
thickness. On the back of each is cut the signature of tlie page for which it was
intended, Irom A 1 to 14. On the back of the last block the initials C G are cut; this
is a late addition, for the letters are not stained with printer’s ink, as the siguatures
are. There are no wood-engraver’s marks. The expert wood-engraver, Jolm
Thompson (1785-1866), recognised the hand of four different engravers, aud cited
