* According to A.A.M. Stols, P.N.
van Eyck, who had edited the text, wanted to have a say on the typograpy
of the book. This brought J. van Krimpen to his famous complaint about
sparing typography: 'Adieu aesthetica en mooie pagina's! Adieu kleuren!
Adieu titels en initialen! Adieu de heele bliksemse boel!' ('Farewell
to esthetics and beautiful pages! Farewell to colors! Farewells to titles
and initials! Farewell to the whole darned mess!') In the Marriage
of Heaven and Hell Lutetia roman and cursive was used plus a lot
of swash capitals, resulting in splendid, conspicuous typography. One of an unknown number of copies
in full vellum. Van Dijk 128.
