RARE & FAMOUS PRESSES

The extremely rare first edition of this book most remarkable for printing pro-
cess of the 15th century.
A most interesting printing curiosum, as there the first 24 leaves, or 4 quires,
contain 26 lines on each page in Baemlers type 3, the rest is printed in type 6 con-
taining 32 lines to a full page. “The title in type 90 (-Proctor’s type 6) repeats the
information of the title in type 119 (= Proctor’s type 3). The end leaves in type 90
are on quite different paper from the rest. The book as it stands seems to be
the work of two printers.” (Brit. Mus. Cat.) The smaller type occurs only in our
book, it resembles very closely to C. Hist’s (Speier) type 2 but with different rubric
and hyphen. Therefore the book may have been began by Baemler, but finished by
another, unknown printer.
Large copy, slightly stained in places.
No copy in U. S. A. (acc. to Census).
