Music Types employed in De La Hèe’s Masses: Plantin, Antwerp
From Rooses’ Christophe Plantin, Antwerp, 1896 (facsimile), Octo Missae (scan)

The music fonts in Plantin’s office were of remarkable magnificence, and some of his books of Masses, especially those by Georges de la Hèle, are strikingly handsome. Of these music types some of the best were cut by Du Tour.
