the Ruby Block Letter No. 551 of our inventory (fig. 250). In 1755 Weyer went back to
Fleischman for a Pica Roman, and in 1757 for a Great Primer.1 These faces are now
as numbered in our inventory the Pica Roman No. 85 and the Great Primer Roman No. 80

[1] Fleischman made entries in his account-book about the the Text Romijn (Great Primer Roman) to Martin Weyer on
delivery of matrices for the Mediaan Romijn (Pica Roman) and 7 February 1755 and on 9 May 1757, respectively.

JOHANN MICHAEL FLEISCHMAN

(figs. 251, 252). But these ventures brought little profit to him: before he could
even put his new types in a specimen Weyer fell ill and died,1 and his widow, not
feeling equal to managing the business, sold it to the Brothers Ploos van Amstel.2
They, therefore, were able to show a number of new types by Fleischman in their
specimen-book of 1767.3

Enschedé had bought a Two-line Pica Script from Rosart (see p. 261), and it led
to emulation by Fleischman. In 1756 he was given an order to supply the Enschedé
typefoundry with a Script, the Double Pica Script No. 8j of our inventory. Johannes
