The best brief outline of the history of printing!



William Blades’ ‘The Pentateuch of Printing with a Chapter on Judges’ is the story of printing presented as a parallel to the books of the Pentateuch. The chapter on Judges contains a useful bibliography and facsimile title-pages of a few curious works including ‘The Aberdeen Printers,’ ‘Typographia,’ and many others.



Turner Berry writes about Blades’ ‘Pentateuch of Printing’

“The best brief outline of the history of printing. This was the first comprehensive primer in the English language on the subject and it may still be considered invaluable to the student of historical typography. As the title suggests, the history of the chosen art is traced in its various stages as the great Pentateuch traced the origin and wanderings of the chosen people.” (Berry)



This 1891 first edition contains 59 illustrations with two, fold out plates!
