Talk:Plantin Press

Possible erroneous deletion of text
The first sentence of the second paragraph of the article section "History" is: "After 1564, when Plantin set up again in a new shop at the sign of De Gulden Passer ("The Golden Compasses"), the printers mark of the House of Plantin." But this is not actually a complete sentence, and the meaning is unclear. I used "WikiBlame" to search for edits involving "After 1564" and (as a separate search) "Passer". For each of these strings, WikiBlame says that it was in the original article text rather than a later edit, and so I presume that revert is not an option. (Perhaps I did not use the WikiBlame tool properly, though.)

I suspect that the original article author erroneously omitted or deleted a part of a sentence. It appears, then, that this issue can only be resolved by consulting original sources. I'm hoping that someone who knows and cares more about this history than I do (perhaps the original author) will do that, possibly as a result of this note in the article talk page.
