Bauer, Chronik der dt. Schriftgiessereien p. 166 (citing a copy with only 32 pages ?) ; Jolles. Die deutsche Schriftgiesserei p. 247 ; not in Bigmore/Wiyman ; not in Katalog der Bibliothek des Börsenvereins der deutschen Buchhändler ; not in St. Bride Foundation Catalogue ; not in Fischer. Der Verleger Johann Friedrich Cotta. Chronologische Verlagsbibliographie 1787-1832 ; cf. Druckenmüller. Der Buchhandel in Stuttgart p. 19 (for the setting up of the type foundry by Cotta in 1760). First and only edition of a scarce type specimen. Our copy with manuscript entry on title-page "Nb. Von allenfalls zu bestellenden Schriften muss wegen der Höhe ein Muster mit zur Bestellung geschickt werden" by Cotta (?) or by one of his employees. "Von Christoph Friedrich Cotta (1730-1807) … wird die von ihm erworbene Hof- und Kanzlei-Buchdruckerei in Stuttgart (1760) mit einer Schriftgießerei ausgestattet. Im Jahre 1789 übernahm Johann Friedrich Cotta (1764-1832) das Geschäft. … Im Jahre 1795 erscheint eine 32 (sic !) Seiten starke Oktav-Probe der Schriftgiesserei J. C. Cotta in Stuttgart. Cotta sagt in der Vorrede, dass er Matern von Lobinger (in Wien) und Breitkopf (von letzterem durch Tausch) erworben habe. … Die Giesserei ist also früher nicht nur Hausgiesserei gewesen" (Bauer, Chronik p. 166). The only type specimen issued by the important publishers Cotta during their long business history. Leaves 1 through 28 with various types, followed by mathematical, chemical and astronomical signs, music types, and finally leaves 31 to 48 with borders, ornaments and patterns for wrappers. The printed price list comprising pages 49 to 52 without printed or manuscript prices. I could not trace a copy on German auctions in the past 70 years. Very scarce with KVK showing two copies only : Gutenberg-Museum, Mainz and Columbia, NY. A fine copy in its marvellous wrappers with an ornate design of type ornaments.
