"This highly worthy art aforesaid was invented first of all in Germany at Mentz on the Rhine." From 1440 essays and investigations were made, and in 1450, a golden year, printing was begun, and the first book printed was a Latin Bible in big types such as are used for Missals. There are twelve preliminary leaves including the title. Then follows the text in 354 numbered leaves (with many errors of enumeration. The last one is numbered 350). The quire-signatures are A, B, and A-I, in sixes; K, 10 leaves; L-Z, in sixes; a-d, in sixes; e, 4 leaves; f-z, in sixes; aa-mm, in sixes; nn, in 4 leaves. On the reverse of folio ggl (under the date of 1450) begins the article "Van der boychdrucker kunst," which gives to this volume most of its importance. It is the first plain public declaration made in Germany, by a printer, that "the first Finder of Printing was a burgher at Maintz, and was born from Strassburg, and was called Joncker Johan Gudenburch." (This was stated to rebut the absurd claim made in favour of Nicolas Jenson, who had only gone to Venice to begin his cutting and arranging of type, after typography had been already practised there.) As for the Low Countries, Koelhoff was candid enough to say that the art of printing had been prefigured in Holland in the Donatus books produced there. Now this allusion cannot refer to the Donatuses which are now usually found in fragments and ascribed to the "Utrecht prototypographer," since these fragments are all purely typographical, and not done by any prefigurement of typography. The only prefigurement of typography that we can imagine is Xylography, -an art which was undeniably practised in the Low Countries (and elsewhere) when Gutenberg was a baby.-As to the probable author of these statements,-John Koelhoff printed his first dated book in 1472, having presumably learned the art from Ulrich Zell, a refugee printer from Mentz in 1462 (who had printed his own first dated book at Cologne in 1466). Koelhoff sets out his authority in the following words :-" The beginning and the progress of the aforesaid art has been verbally related to me by the honorable man Master Ulrich Zell of Hannau (still in 1499 a printer of books at Cologne), by whom the aforesaid art was brought to Cologne."-He goes on to say that "there are silly men who assert that typography had been practised before [i.e. before Gutenberg], but that is not true, and no specimens are extant in any country of any such practice." These words again prove that the Holland Donatus pieces were not typographical. 532 DORST (L.)

Of the third there is but one issue, that of 1874, moreover very few more copies were printed than would suffice to range with the reprinted first and second volumes-as a consequence many original copies lack this all-important volume. Owners of copies of the original issue may secure the third volume unbound, uncut, for £10. 537 ECCARDI (J. G.)
