About this Item

Rare association copy inscribed at top of front cover by Todd to emeritus professor Frederick A. Pottle (Yale University), portions of this work from Todd's Ph.D. dissertation (Univ. of Chicago, 1949). Copy of 34pps, rag paper with grey paper covers stapled. Todd made many noteworthy scholarly discoveries and contributed in a variety of ways to the intellectual life of the University of Texas, Austin-Harry Ransom Center through his bibliographical publications (nearly 300 on a dazzling variety of subjects), exhibitions, and advice on acquisitions. Perhaps his greatest contribution was his characteristically thorough and precise examination of the three available copies of the Gutenberg Bible in the annus mirabilis of 1977¿78. and that the Pforzheimer copy was the one to bring to Austin.
