| Item Description: | Sometimes attributed to Jehan de Beau-Chesne, but the woodcut specimens include only a few from Beauchesne. Has later setting than STC 6446 of the "Rules made by E.B. for his children to learn to write by". In STC 6446 the "Rules" are in the same typesetting as, but in a different imposition from STC 3361.7--Cf. STC. The first section of the "Rules" ends: "colour more dim"--Cf. STC. "Rules" read: Rules made by E.B. for children to write by. Identified as STC 6449a on UMI microfilm. Imperfect; many leaves lacking making it impposible to determine signature collation. Reproduction of the original in the Folger Shakespeare Library. |
