Gutenberg Bible: the Three Phases in the Printing Process Henceforth the rubrics were intended to be supplied by hand. This task was evidently not undertaken in Gutenberg's workshop, for the rubrication differs from one copy to another. There are printed rubrics only on folio 129 of volume I. In the vellum copy, Grenville's copy, folios 1-32, and 129-158 of volume I, and folios 1-16 of volume II are of the second setting, and there are therefore no folios of 40 lines per page. www.bl.uk /treasures/gutenberg/threephases.html   (367 words)

Kenyon College - LBIS - Greenslade Special Collections and Archives - Exhibits - Incunabula - Johann Forli The edition owned by Kenyon College contains rubrication, the addition of hand painted capital letters, an art carried over from manuscripts to printed books. “Rubrication” is derived from the Latin verb meaning to color red.

The International Printing Museum: HOME Long before the invention of moveable type scribes incorporated rubrication and illumination as well as illustrations produced using carved wood blocks to embellish and enhance their work. A the development and use of movable type, exemplified in Gutenberg’s 42-Line Bible, replaced much of the work of scribes, printers coninued to decorate their pages using hand rubrication, illumination and hand carved blocks. As moveable type became the major method for the creation and production of printed pieces, the role of the printer evolved to include responsibilites for the full spectrum of activites from design through finishing. www.printmuseum.org   (413 words)

Rubrication - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography Practitioners of rubrication, so-called rubricators, were specialized scribes that received text from the manuscript's original scribe and supplemented it with additional text in red ink for emphasis. Rubrication was used so often in this regard that the term rubric was commonly used as a generic term for headers of any type or color, though it technically referred only to headers to which red ink had been added. Rubrication may also be used to emphasize the starting character of a canto or other division of text. www.arikah.com /encyclopedia/Rubrication   (371 words)

D B Updike, "Some Notes on Liturgical Printing" Rubrical directions are indicated by the insertion of a Hebrew character in outline, or by the use of a small size of the normal Hebrew character. But the rubrication in all these books, whether old or new, appears to be governed by the usual rule that words to be said are printed in fl, and directions for their use in red, as in Roman Catholic and Anglican rubricated prayer books. Rubrics in these books have initials in fl, which I think also open to exception, for rubrics, except in rare instances, require no initials; but if used, such initials should be rubricated also. www.oremus.org /liturgy/printing/updike.html   (4099 words)

The People's Book of Worship (1919) If one enters the great gates of a park he may discover a rubric, or sign board, which says, "Take this path to the lion's den." The form of words is mandatory, but the visitor will not obey the rubric if the lion's den is a place where he does not wish to go. Such, for instance, is the rubric forbidding the use of the Burial Office for suicides,--a relic of mediaeval casuistry. It is also because of the presence of rubrics of this nature that the law of the Church recognizes as an offense for which a minister may be tried "the violation of the rubrics." It is manifest that there could be no such thing as trial for the violation of a true rubric. anglicanhistory.org /bcp/suter1919/04.html   (2225 words)

Digital Text and the Gutenberg Heritage: chapter 3 As more people learned to read and the practice of silent reading developed, the demand for structuring devices such as word spacing and clearer rubrication for punctuation and section headings increased. Rubrication, after all, was scribal handwork which in the long run went against the nature of printing. This markup usually aims to obey the typographic convention of the period: it answers to the unspoken expectations of the reader. www.let.leidenuniv.nl /English/B&P/Eltext/Ch03.html   (4314 words)

Cyberkids: Articles The decorations were usually made with bright colors, and often had birds and animals intertwined in spiral designs. Illuminators who used the Celtic style often painted small red dots around the decorated letters, a process called "rubrication." Rubrication was done to create a shadow effect, so that the letters seemed to be lifted above the page. The word, "miniature," meaning a small painting in an illuminated manuscript, comes from the word, "minim," which was the red lead used for rubrication. www.cyberkids.com /cw/ars/le/illum/illum2.html   (301 words)

Rubrication | Incunabula - Dawn of Western Printing Following the design of manuscripts, printers of incunabula also had the first letter (initial) of the first word of each chapter in large size and in red ink. In the process of printing, the corresponding part of the page for the initial was left blank, and later, a craftsman called a "rubricator" drew a decorative initial in that space. To designate the letter to be drawn, a small form of the letter was sometimes printed in the space beforehand. www.ndl.go.jp /incunabula/e/glossary/glo_28.html   (111 words)

Mullen of Denver Memorial Library. Rubrication is the decorating of text with red ink, as was often the case with the first letter of a paragraph.)

Illuminated Manuscripts and Early Printing Though the decoration of books by hand was to persist well into the sixteenth century, the advantage of printing metal text type along with woodcut initials and illustrations, all in one pass through the press, was too compelling for printers to resist. By the sixteenth century the book was becoming strongly monochromatic with only the occasional rubrication.

Also Church-related: because the Catholic Church has a habit (since the 1400s) of marking saints' days in red on a calendar, to 'rubricate' also means to confer such status. ransford.org /pipermail/word-l/2005-March/000535.html   (260 words)
