These types are cast in evener line than the types of the _Rationale_, but the face is not of neater cut. The presswork is not good. The colophon, which is like that of the _Psalter_, states that the red letters have been printed by the masterly invention of type-making; but the red letters are the ones interspersed in the text. The great initials were not printed; the blank space left for them was filled up by the illuminator. This book was even more popular than the _Psalter_; it was reprinted four times, but always in the same form. [Illustration: The Mark of Fust and Schœffer.] [Illustration: Fac-simile of a part of a Page of the Constitutions of Pope Clement V. The paragraph marks were written in red ink. [From Humphreys.]] In 1462 Schœffer printed a new edition of the _Latin Bible_, in the Great-primer types of the _Constitutions_, in folio form, two columns to the page, and 48 lines to the column. It is the first Bible with printed date. According to modern taste, Schœffer’s change from Pointed Gothic to Round Gothic was not happy, for the new face is inferior in design and execution. But the Round Gothic permitted the compression of the book within fewer pages, and was a more economical letter for the printer. The second volume has, in some copies, a colophon worded like that of the [p464] _Psalter of 1457_, setting forth that “this little book was made by the masterly invention of printing and of type-making, without any writing of a pen;” in other copies, obviously of the same edition, this clause does not appear. This is but one of many variations in this book which can be satisfactorily explained only by Madden’s theory of a double composition. The war between Diether and Adolph for the possession of the electorate of Mentz was the occasion of some curious proclamations which were printed in the types of Schœffer.[309] Two editions, one in Latin, one in German, of a _Bull of Pope Pius II against the Turks_, dated October 22, 1463, have also been attributed to Schœffer. The capture and sack of Mentz brought great misfortune to Fust and Schœffer. We are told that the house and materials of Fust were burned; but it is plain that he saved his punches and matrices, for we see that the old faces of type were used in all the later books of Fust and Schœffer. The printed proclamations of Adolph show that Fust soon refurnished his office, and began to print. With his fellow-citizens, he suffered from the paralysis to industry inflicted by the war. There was no encouragement for enterprise. There is no book bearing the imprint of Fust and Schœffer between the years 1462 and 1464. The unemployed workmen of Fust and [p465] Schœffer were obliged to leave the city. In leaving it, they carried with them the knowledge of the new art, which, in a few years, they established in all the larger cities of Europe.
