Sixteenth Century

Harry Carter, A View of Early Typography Up to About 1600 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1969). A chart entitled "Old Names for [Twelve] Bodies of Type in English, French, German, and Dutch and Typical Values for Twenty Lines in Millimetres" appears on page 127 and shows the actual body and face of type alongside the common names. These names are entered into the correlated table using the millimeter measurements.

H. D. L. Vervliet, Sixteenth-Century Printing Types (Amsterdam: Menno Hertzberger, 1968). The author conveniently summarizes his work in a table on page 16 labelled "Synopsis of the [20 different] Names for the Sizes of Type, Used in This Book." Unfortunately, he miscalculates the didot points in at least five of the largest sizes of type. In three instances he rounds up his pica point sizes (83, 52, and 15.5) rather than down. Nevertheless, he provides English names for several typesizes and these are entered into the correlated table based on his twenty line millimeter measurements.
