The A with a king kneeling, the N with a doctor exhorting a student, and the T, are from two books printed in the same type, but only one of them has the name of a printer. This, the _Libellus de beneficiis in curia vacantibus_, from which the N is taken, was printed at the most noble and loyal city of Seville by Jacob Cromberger, in 1512. The two others are from a work with a long title beginning _Clarissimi cesarei juris doctor ac in studio Salmantino primarii regentis Didaca de Segura solemnis et elegantissima repetitio_. It is curious as containing a warning on the title-page to dishonest booksellers and printers against infringing the author’s rights: _Cautum est a Serenissimis principibus nostris ut nemo avidus Bibliopola nec quicunque alius audeat imprimere sub poena in privilegio contenta_. The four letters from an alphabet of Death occur in several books printed in the town of Stella. According to different authorities, Stella corresponds to what is now known as Estella. Deschamps says ‘Voyez Flavonia,’ and under this heading ‘Flavonia (Merula Cosmograph). Compostella (Mariana) Santiago di Compostella. St. Jacques di Compostella, town of Spain in the dependence of La Carogne (Galacie).’ This information is not very explicit, but it is supplemented by the statement that Stella was celebrated amongst other things by a book published in 1693 against the abuse of _escatados_, that is the fashion amongst ladies of cutting their dresses low between the shoulders. The alphabet of which the E, F, N, and V form part, is a copy not of Holbein’s alphabet of Death, but of the little pictures that illustrate his _Simulachres_ or _faces historiées de la Mort_. Some of them occur in a book entitled _Series totius historiae sacri Evangelii autore Petro Trurozqui Navarro_ (Stellae, Adrian Anverez, 1557), which contains also most of the letters of an alphabet copied from the Biblical series of Froshover of Zurich, mentioned in its place. Another book without printer’s name, but dated 1555, in which they occur, merits from us a more particular description, inasmuch as it consists almost entirely of initial letters. The title of this typographical curiosity is _Libro Sotilissimo y provechoso para deprender a escrevir y contar el qual lleva la misma orden que lleva un maestro con su discipulo en que estan puestas las cinco reglas mas principales de guarismo y otras cosas sotiles y prouechosas_. Each page of the little volume is surrounded by a woodcut border. On the verso of the title, the notice to the reader begins with the M of the Dance of Death alphabet. The two succeeding pages have little pictures of the saints.
