TYPE III. The types of this face are newer, but they resemble those of Type II; some capitals are identical, but others have differences which establish it as a distinct face. As it is of a larger body, it must have been founded in a [p286] different mould. A book which contains the _Fables of Lorenzo Valla_ and the _Witty Speeches of Great Men_, two little works of some popularity in the fifteenth century, is the only known specimen of this type. The paper of this book, which is like that of the _Speculum_, contains many of the strange blemishes, previously described, of useless letters embossed in the white lines and near the margins. As the written preface of the author is dated May, 1438, it is apparent that the book must have been printed subsequently to this date. [Illustration: Type IV. Fac-simile of the Types of the Peculiarities of Criminal Law. [From Koning.]] TYPE IV. Of this face, the fragments of four copies, and presumably of four distinct editions, of the _Donatus_ have been found. This type, which does not closely resemble the faces previously described, was founded on a body a little larger than Paragon. The largest book in this type is a treatise on the Roman Law, apparently an abridgment of the fifth book of the _Pandects of Justinian_. It is described in the preface as _The Peculiarities of Criminal Law, by Lewis of Rome_. This treatise, which consists of forty-four pages, is printed in the form of small folio, twenty-six lines to the page. It was the largest book and contains the largest type of the unknown printer. [p287] TYPE V. The forty-fifth page and all subsequent pages of the book previously described are devoted to a _Treatise and Epitaphs by Pope Pius II_, and a _Eulogy on Lorenzo Valla_. In these names we find sure indications of the probable age of the book: Cardinal Piccolomini or Æneas Sylvius was made Pope Pius II in the year 1458; Lorenzo Valla died in 1457. The book must have been written and printed after these dates. The workmanship of this part of the book is of superior character: the types were fairly founded on a body about the size of Great-primer; they were decently printed in good black ink and on both sides of the paper, but the remarkable defect of embossed letters which has been noticed as one of the blemishes of the _Speculum_ is also noticeable in this book.
