ABSTRACT
Of the Italian books described in this volume there are title pages whose compartments or devices are not listed in Ronald B. McKerrow, Printers’ and Publishers’ Devices in England and Scotland 1485-1640 (London: The Bibliographical Society, 1913) [cited as McK. in the main text] or Ronald B. McKerrow and F.S. Ferguson, Title-page Borders Used in England and Scotland 1485-1640 (London: The Bibliographical Society, 1932) [cited as McK. & F. in the main text]. They are printed here in facsimile if they are difficult to describe in words to support the bibliographical information in the text. The typography, decoration, and other details are significant in the study of cultural connections between the authors, printers, publishers, and patrons in England. All BL collections and some in the other libraries were scanned from the original. Others were copied from EEBO. The shelf mark for each, together with STC number, is indicated on the facsimile.
