The quotation used in Jenson's Greek is from Noctes Atticae by Aulus Gellius, printed by Jenson in Venice in 1472. The 'poems' on pages 19, 29 and 39 are made from words & phrases of Jenson's will translated by Pierce Butler for the Ludlow Typograph Company 1928.

The enlarged letters, in their sequence here, are gamma, phi, delta, sigma-theta (double letter), psi, & pi"--Foreword.
