DIDOT, HENRI. Evangile de Notre Seigneur Jesus Christ selon Saint Matthieu, d'apres la version revue par J. F. Ostervald. Haarlem 1900 52pp. The Gospel of Matthew beautifully printed here in the famous 2 1/2 point type cut by Henri Didot at the age of sixteen. He invented a type-casting device, the polyamatype, for the purpose. It was first used to print "Maximes et Reflexions Morales" of Rochefoucauld in 1827, and a Horace in 1828, then sold to Ensched, in Haarlem. Mikrobiblion claims that the clarity and beauty of Didot's types are best displayed in this masterful volume. An extremely fine copy, with no signs of wear, in the publisher's brown cloth, stamped in gilt and blind. Inscribed by Ensched,'s printer, Jan van Krimpen. (Mikrobiblion 90, Bondy p.92).
