Caxton’s Type 5. From The Doctrinal of Sapience, Westminster
From a copy in the Library of Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, New York, Princeton University Library (p. 85)
1489
Caxton printed The Doctrinal of Sapience in Type 5, about 1489. It is a good type as Caxton’s types go—and very English and ecclesiastical in effect, as we understand English “church type” to-day.
