Summary:

Poor devils of letters, the correctors of Renaissance Europe (men and a few women) marked up copy, divided books into chapters and composed titles for them, and compiled tables of contents before texts went through the press, and read the proofs and corrected them at the other end of the process. This title deals with these correctors.
