Notes: "This study ... has two principal purposes. The first is to introduce the idea that the history of the earliest European typography, that is, the world-changing rise of printing in Mainz and other German towns during the 1450s and early 1460s, can be studied just about as well in university libraries within Texas as in any other state in the union. The second purpose is to raise awareness that an observant and resourceful student, lawyer, or interested visitor can make himself or herself exceedingly well-informed about the early history of printed law books by consulting the fifteenth-century books at the Tarlton Law Library."--Page 1.

Based on the Library's ninth Rare Book Lecture, presented by Dr. White at the Tarlton Law Library in February 2013.
