Atramentum speciale per cribrum in superficiem imprimitur et alta temperatura duratur. Densitas magna vitri crystallini fulcro stabilitatem in usu praebet. Consilium operis in functione, forma et materia minimum est, et sculpturae in formam libri factae simile est. Forma functionem clare ostendit. Textus impressus litteris generis Quinsay Parto utitur. Litterae MMXIX in dorso numeri Romani sunt anni bis millesimi undevicesimi.
