A year later Erhard Renwich printed his Breydenback's Peregrinationes
also at Mainz in a fount made from the same punches, though not the same
matnius, except that he introduced a d without a loop. His d is too big, and he
must have cast de di do & du using two matrices side by side in the mould to
produce the combinations on a single piece of type, because in these doublets the
e i o u are also too big & differ in design from those of the fount.
(2 forms for the ower case letters b d h k, one with a straight ascender & the
other with a loop. The looped forms tended to disappear as time went on)
