of various de Bry plates retrived by Google — though not plate VIII of
the edition you cite, unfortunately — show lengthy captions beginning with
a large "drop caps," or inset initial letters, whose indents affect multiple
lines of text: 4, 5, 6 lines or more. So I would interpret the Sabin
entry to mean that in the first edition of the <i>Brevis narratio</i> the
"drop cap" initial A on plate VIII extends to five lines, and in later
reprints only four lines. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:#0070C0'>I’m trying to determine the state of the impressions of
the plates contained in our 1591 copy of the second part of Theodor de
Bry’s Great Voyages series entitled, Brevis narratio eorvm qvae in
Florida Americae provi[n]cia Gallis. On page 31 in vol. 3 of Sabin there is a
nifty outline which delineates the first impressions from later reprints.
However, I’m confused by the entry for plate VIII, which states that in
the first impression at the end of the first line “the capital of the
word Appulis on 5 lines” and in the reprints the “same capital on 4
[lines].” Can someone enlighten me, as to what this means? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

the end of the first line, but doesn’t appear elsewhere on the leaf.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
