Trinité & Lexicon

More about the book

In 1991 publishers Uitgeverij De Buitenkant and Spectatorpers published a small book entitled "Romanée en Trinité: Historisch origineel en systematisch slordig". The author set the Dutch text by hand, using Jan van Krimpen's Romanée, and printed 500 copies on a Victoria platen press. Drukkerij Jan de Jong (Uitgeverij De Buitenkant's in-house press) printed the type specimen section in offset. By 1991 the Autologic phototypesetter had already been phased out, Enschedé having switched to digital typesetting. Fortunately the author was able to use the phototypeset positives for the 1982 type specimen. Enschedé had given Peter Matthias Noordzij the job of digitizing Trinité and in the second half of Romanée en Trinité the author was able to give a foretaste of the results. This book contains the full text of Romanée en Trinité, but it was technically impossible to include the hand-set specimen.
