BMC VI 744: 74 G [P. 7], plain text type,
with scrolled I and rather wide e, bearing
an exceedingly close resemblance to
Ratdolt (Venice) 76 G. [P. 4] (Type 6:76G bei Erhard Ratdolt (Venedig, Offizin 23)),
but without ligatures and hyphen and with somewhat coarser ꝰ,
and differing in P, which in June, 1481 (IA. 26463) (=M23684)
is too large, with double diagonal, but in subsequent books is plain,
like that of Ratdolt's type, but leaning slightly to left. In the Carlomagno
of March, 1483 (IA. 26494, q.v.) (=GW12605) it seems at first
to have been leaded to about 78 mm. The first state
is distinguished from De Corneno 74 G. [P. 2] (Type 2:74G bei Petrus de Corneno (Mailand, Offizin 15))
by the diagonals of P, which are parallel and the lower
of which reaches nearly to the foot of the shaft. In use in 1481, 1483.
