The biography and typography of William Caxton, England's first printer

Note 6 — Chapter VII

Reading edition

Van Praet, Brunet, and especially Campbell in his “Annales de la Typographie Néerlandaise,” err in describing “Le Purgatoire des mauvais Maris,” printed by Colard Mansion, as a “petit in-4°.” The copy described is cut a little more than usual, but the watermark which is in the middle of the page proves the size to be folio, whereas had it been quarto the watermark must have been in the back and partly hidden by the binding.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
