Reading edition

This beautiful little fount was cut for Pickering’s Greek Testament 1826, and for clearness and minuteness eclipses both the Sedan Greek, and that of Blean of Amsterdam. It was also used in the Homer of 1831. Dibdin (Introd. to the Classics, 1827, i, 166) shows a specimen of the type.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
