LIST OF TYPE-SPECIMENS
The following list comprises all type-specimens quoted in Charles Enschedé's text and in the
notes, arranged in chronological order as far as possible. For a complete list of type-specimens
printed in the Netherlands before 1801 the reader is referred to that in copy and Print, pp.
124—132. Locations are given where known, and I have supplied shelf-marks only when they
form an addition or correction to those in Copy and Print. There are undoubtedly more copies of
many of the type-specimens in existence which further research would reveal, and therefore the
list of locations does not claim to be exhaustive.
Line-endings are not indicated in the transcriptions; punctuation follows that of the original;
italics are represented by italics, while capitalized words are represented by the use of an initial
capital, the rest of the word being lower case. This has the drawback that the reader will not be
able to distinguish between words that are in capitals or with only an initial capital in the
original, but I have done it for visual effeft and ease of reading. The system, if I may call it so,
has its obvious weakness, and in consequence there have been occasional lapses.
I have not attempted to give collations, as there are considerable variations in copies of
type-specimens in book form. I should have needed to do more research than I could do for
the present purpose in order to establish ideal copies and deviations. It seemed sensible,
therefore, to limit a statement on collation to a record of the number of leaves of the most
complete copy I examined. The format is indicated according to the Principles of Professor
Fredson Bowers. (L. H.)
