Abstract
- Focuses on the emergence of the earliest display roman, known by its size as a "gros canon", which was a phenomenon in most of the senses of the word in the history of topography. First use of gros canon in Paris, France in 1530 by the printer Robert Estienne; British type historian Stanley Morison's creation of the gros canon as part of a wave of Parisian interest in the types of the Venetian printer, Aldus Manutius; Historical evidence that substantiates each of the pieces within the chain of the logic.
