- Description
- Lewis assesses challenges confronted by printer Thomas Richard when, in 1525, he produced John Walton's translation of Boethius's "Consolation of Philosophy," especially those challenges that resulted from interspersing intermittent commentary in a smaller typeface. The commentary derives from Bo, and the volume may have been modeled on Caxton's edition of Bo.
