I was exploring on the web today and discovered a facsimile scan of 20 pages of an early book printed by Nicholas Jenson at <http://www.archive.org/details/toronto>

Be aware that the book is set in a textura face (I think, didn't look closely at it), not the roman faces currently paired with his name.

Might be of interest ... I have bookmarked the site, at least.

Yikes!

Attempting to download the PDF and then attempting to Cancel the 67MB download sent my browser into an infinite loop. Had to force quit. :(

True. For others, I will note that clicking on the details link does show the file size. Pity they didn't mention it on the promo page.

Don,

I'm adding a "large file download" note to your initial post.

Whatever you do, don't try to cancel the download once started. :D
