as far as number of editions printed in the 15th C, the Bible
was easily outshipped by publications chiefly intended for school
use - Postrinale, Ars minor.

Before the printing appeared, 2 gread faces already had
begun to dominate European intellectual life: religious
reformation + humanism. Both of these movements
were served well by the new craft, but religion was
foremost in the subject matter of incunabula.
According to one estimate, nearly 1/2 of the 40,000 titles
+ editions issued between 1450-1500 were of a religious
character with Bibles leading. (133 editions of the Later
Vulgate version - printed in 15C)
Updike 15C Gothic types 1) Pointed (lettre de forme) formal - Fracktur
A. 2) Round (lettre de somme) less formal
3) Vernacular Cursive black letter like the
French batarde intended primarily.
