The text of this book is set in Adobe Jenson Pro, an old-style typeface designed by Robert Slimbach. It is based on the work of Nicolas Jenson, a fifteenth-century engraver and coin forger. The italics were inspired by those of Ludovico Vicentino degli Arrighi, a papal scribe in Renaissance Italy. Chapter headings and folio elements are set in SeriWood, as digitized by Terry Koppel from a collection of wood type.
