What reading level is Christopher Plantin And the Plantin Moretus Museum At Antwerp book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Two rooms contain the remnants of the type-foundry, which provoke reflection on the difference hetween old and new methods of book-making. The modern printer does not make his types ; he does not even own a punch or a matrix. Buying his types from many foundries, he has great liberty of selection, but, necessarily, a selection from the designs of other men. It follows that the text types of one printer may be must be, often just the same as those of another printer, and that there can be no rea...lly strong individuality in the books of any house. In the sixteenth century every eminent printer had some of his types made to his own order, which types he only used. This was the method: He hired an engraver to draw and cut in steel the model letters, or punches, and to provide the accom- panying mold and matrices. Keeping the punches, he took the mold and matrices to men who cast types for the trade, who fur- nished him all he needed. The founders who made Plantin's earlier types were Gruyot and The Type-foundry.
