Description
This single paper leaf from an early printed book demonstrates the ways in which early print attempted to emulate medieval manuscript layout, from the larger initials and paragraph marks to the marginal annotation. In a classroom, gently feeling the impressed texture of the printing helps students understand relief printing and the fluid and intertextual progression from manuscript to print.
