A Dry Discourse on Wet Paper (and Ink)

摘要

IN HIS 1923 ARTICLE ON Massinger's Duke of Milan (1623), W. W. Greg observed that in what he believed to be the first sheet of the book, the playwright's name was misprinted 'Messenger' both on one copy of the title page (in the inner forme) and in a different copy below the dedication (outer forme). In all other copies he had seen, the name had been corrected at press in both places.1 Acknowledging that his theory could be disproved by the discovery of a copy with both readings uncorrected (209), he suggested that.
