This first edition of the Speculum must be considered as the most interesting and curious of books. Guttenburg, the printer, evidently became acquainted with moveable types during its progress, as about one third of the Book is printed in characters cut on wooden blocks, and the remainder with rude moveable types. This work consists of sixty-three leaves, printed only on The five first contain a Latin Preface, and the others each represent a wood engraving in vignette form, with historical events, taken from the Bible, and enclosed between architectural gothic borders, with explanatory inscriptions. Heinekin, p. 134, gives a detailed list of these vignettes, There are two editions of this Latin Speculum, which are nearly of equal rarity and value. The first is the one, where the text of the Cuts 1, 2, 4, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 21, 22, 26, 27, 46, and 55, is printed on wooden blocks, whilst the text of the Preface and of the remainder of the Cuts, is printed with moveable types. In the second edition, the whole of the text is executed with moveable types. A fac simile of the last plate of the 2nd. edition, will be found in Heinekin, p. 443. At the Sale of the Merly Library, 1813, a copy of the first edition sold for 315l. and also a copy of the Flemish edition for 2521. which latter is now in Earl Spencer's collection. |
