The following table exhibits the use made of different type by Oxford
printers 1585–1640, but applies only to the chief type of the body of
the work. Thus Pica Greek is the chief type of a book in 1591 at
earliest, but it is found occasionally in 1587, and Long Primer Greek in
1585. So too Great Primer Greek is used in 1624, 9. And Hebrew type is
used sporadically from 1596 on (Long Primer, Pica and English, pointed
and unpointed: see 1596, 8 & 9; 1601, 2; 1602, 3; &c.)
