Edit, print:—This first and celebrated Edition is very interesting to the history of Printing, for some barbarous Latin verses, which attribute the invention of printing to the two Johns (Guttemberg and Fust) and Peter Schaffir,- the first of whom invented the art, the second forwarded it with pecuniary assistance, and the third, the first engraver of metallic types. There is also a person referred to in the concluding lines, who was corrector of the press to these first printers. See Maittaire, vol. l. p. 37. fol.
