APPENDIX
Beaumont's Psyche (1702): A Case-Study

Loves mysteries in soules doe grow, But yet the body is his booke.

Psyche, or Love's Mystery, in XXIV. Cantos: Displaying the Intercourse Betwixt Christ, and the Soul. . . . By Joseph Beaumont, D.D. . . . The Second Edition, With Corrections throughout, and Four New Cantos, never before Printed. Cambridge, Printed at the University Press, for Tho. Bennet, at the Half Moon in St. Paul's Church Yard, London, M.DCCII. Collation: 2: a-b4 A-2Z4 3A2.

For a detailed description and production tables, see The Cambridge University Press 1696-1712: A Bibliographical Study. 2 vols. Cambridge: at the University Press, 1966, i. 219-221. The compositors' and pressmen's claims are reproduced in extenso (and indexed) in vol. ii. Briefly, as the collation shows, the book is a folio in fours comprising 101 sheets. With a text of 6-line verse stanzas in Pica roman fitting 18 to a page, double column, it would have been easy to cast off and set by formes. Composition was shared serially by six men. The sheets were printed off by six different men working in eight different combinations. The book was about 40 weeks printing—from May 1701 to February 1702. The edition was 750 copies.
