contents: On the right of this survey is a list made on the occasion of an international conference on Plantin in 1955 with the names of the types, their makers and the dates on which they were made. The Museum Plantin-Moretus in Antwerp still keeps about 5,000 tools and 15,000 matrices for 80 different types. Types can still be made from them.
