Book excerpt: Excerpt from A View of the Early Parisian Greek Press, Including the Lives of the Stephani, Vol. 1 of 2: Notices of Other Contemporary Greek Printers of Paris; Various Particulars of the Literary and Ecclesiastical History of Their Times A Work of the following description, if executed with diligence and fidelity, may probably contribute to the gratification, first, of those who take pleasure in the perusal of literary history; especially that part of it which relates to what is usually termed the Revival of Learning: secondly, of scholars and critics, whose study it is to ascertain the genuine texts of ancient Greek authors: and thirdly, of such as without this professional object in view, desire to adorn their libraries by the acquisition of rare and primary Greek impressions; and preserve them there, as choice literary curiosities, venerable monuments of the learning and diligence of early printers, and in many instances, as beautiful specimens of early typographic art. With the restoration of elegant literature, the origin and progress of the Parisian Greek press has confessedly much connexion.
