Abstract

FRANS A. JANSSEN A footnote on headlines In the analytical bibliographical literature attention has been paid more then once to the so-called skeleton, i.e. the reusable parts of a forme-the furniture and the headlines with running titles and page numbers which were placed round the composed pages in the forme and which moved to each successive forme. In Shakespearian scholarship they have been used as evidence, for the first time in 1909 by A. W. Pollard, then by E. E. Wil- loughly in 1929 and 1932, and most recently by C. Hinman in 1963; the ge- neral bibliographical study of skeletons was done by F. Bowers in about 1940.' An investigation of the recurrence in subsequent formes of the typo- graphical parts of the skeleton (headlines with running titles, page numbers, rules, ornaments) may provide evidence of the way the book concerned was produced; but it is important not to forget McKenzie's criticism of what were supposed to be results in this area.2 2 The headlines in the skeleton often remained the same through a whole book or large parts of it; once they had been set for one forme, they could be used again for any subsequent
