Ae Rumi Machean has remarked, the pages of the Doves press books were the most devastating criticism ever made of Morris's works at the Kelmscott Press. Completely without ornament or illustration, they depended on their beauty almost entierly upon the clarity of the type, the excellence of the layout + the perfection of the paperwork. - Pillard called it the first Roman Type in existence.

The 1st man to bring originality back to the design of book bindings was T J Cabden - Sanderson (1840 - 1922). Starting life as T. J. Sanderson, he assumed his double barrelled name upon his marriage rather than ask his new wife to abandon hers. He was a banister who in the middle life + under the influence of Ruskin + William Morris, came to the conclusion that craftsmanship was a more noble human activity than a career in law. Cobden - Sanderson bound his 1st book in 1884.

Ptolemy in Book 2-7 has listed over 8,000 locations giving what he thought to be the correct latitude + longitude of each

Reger appears to have started printing in 1486, his 1st books being the Ptolemy. His latest work was done in 1499 in which year he left Ulm. Ptolemy's work composed about 150 AD not only represents teh extent of geographical knowledge in classical times; it remained for more than 14 C (or until the time of Mercator) the standard compendium.

From the maps of Donnus Nicolaus Germanus' (a German who worked in Florence as comographer, illuminator + perhaps printer) third (1468) manuscritp version of Ptolemy's Geographia were printed those of the Ulm editions of 1482 + 1486. Nicolaus had added new maps of Scandinavia + the North. showing Greekland - new world knwon before Columbus 8th map Spain, Italy, Gual + Palestine. The Geographia printed at Ulm presented for the 1st time a map of Eastern Europe, the "Tabula Moderna Prussia, Norbegie, Gatcia et Russia, extra Prolemeum posita", which has a special explanatory chapter to iteslf in the 1486 edition.

The 1st four ed. may be stated to form the printed protypes of the ancient maps in most of the later printed editions. During the next 250 yrs Ptolemy's Geography in its constantly improved forms, still continued to be the standard work on the subject, so much so that upwards of 50 more editions or colllateral works appeared before 1730. Florence + Ulm ed. - first in which an attempt had been made to bring Ptolemy up to date by the introduction of modern maps.

Florence - only ed. in which the old Ptolemeian maps are reproduced on the orignial projection with rectangular + equi distant meridians or prarallels as used in the earliest manuscript maps. In the other 3 ed. the maps are all redrawn on new projections with slanting or curved maidians + parallels.

Shortly after publication L. Holle went bankrupt. His stock was Taken over by J. Reger who 4 years later put out a 2nd ed. with a printing of about 1000 copies.
