German script type (fig. 455, p. 365) and some initial capitals for it (fig. 456, p. 366)
into the supplement to his specimen-book of 1768. The origin of these types is not
to be found in our records. I will not commit myself to a decided view on their
provenance; but, if I were pressed, I should incline once more to the Luther
Foundry, because, so far as is known, it was the only typefoundry outside the Low
Countries with which he had sustained dealings. When we find the same types in
the possession of Unger, we are apt to assume that he, also, got them from Luther.
The second faci; pointing to the same conclusion is that Unger's specimen includes
an alphabet of script initials (our No. 97, fig. 379, p. 294) and the Double Pico Script
No. 1535, (fig. 470), which, apart from a few letters, are identical with those in the speci-
('bourgeois Griechisch' and 'cicero Griechisch').

because he was a punchcutter as well as a typefounder. Smid tells us in the preface
to his specimen of 1780 that he had worked for a time in the Luther Foundry;
and since it is not likely that Unger would have gone for matrices to the newly-
established house of Smid & Dauu at Rotterdam, we are driven to the conclusion
that these types came from Luther.
were in Unger's too. That being so, it is proper to enquire whether Unger had
any of those that in former days were used by the Elseviers of Leyden.1 So far as I
can tell, he had none but the titling capitals previously mentioned.2 The Long
