What reading level is Giambattista Bodoni of Parma book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"1 have devised up to the present, " he says, "one hundred and forty-two Roman characters, each with Italics and capitals, and seventeen scripts of which thirteen have their respective Finanziere, '' which was the name given to a more elaborate and florid form of the same letter, "and seven English com- prising two round characters, and further several Russian, Greek, German, Hebrew, and other exotics; also a quantity of capitals for titles in Latin, Greek, and Russian. All of these I have had ...cast in matrices struck from punches entirely perfected with great love by my own hand. " He goes on to tell us that a single font, complete with Roman and Italics, required some three hundred and eighty punches.
The question of his having cut all the punches with his own hand gave rise to some bitter disputes in the years when he was at the height of his fame, and certainly the number of them seems a little incredible. Fournier's "Treatise on Printing, " published in 1758, says that it took at that time three or four hours to cut a punch, and that not more than three or four could be cut in a day.
