About this book

The Printed Book: Its History, Illustration and Adornment is by Henri Bouchot, translated and enlarged by Edward C. Bigmore. The preface says the study can claim to be nothing more than a rapid and somewhat summary survey of the history of The Book.

The text says Junius attributes to Laurent Coster the first impression of the Speculum. The text says all the xylographic works of the fifteenth century may be classed in two categories: the block books, such as the Donatus, and the books with movable types, like the Speculum. The text says that David Loggan, the engraver, has preserved interior views of the Bodleian of the seventeenth century, and that the rooms are disposed in the form of the letter H, with pavilions to east and west, united by a gallery.
