It also includes original poetry by the printer, some of which was created from words excerpted from Jenson's will and translated into English. Bound in orange handmade Cave paper with "I, Nicholas Jenson alien & printer of books" printed in red and silver inks across the rear, spine, and front panels. A small spot of foxing to a few pages, but clean and bright overall. Illustrated with hand drawn Greek letters by Deirdre Hassed and printed from magnesium blocks.
