Abstract
This note begins by discussing the make-up of a known fragmentary Life of St Katherine printed by Richard Pynson probably c. 1505 (STC 4813.6), showing by comparison with a recently edited manuscript version of the text that mistakes were very likely made during the production process, leading to the surviving leaves being discarded as printer’s waste. Discussion then turns to a newly discovered printing of the same saint’s life, again by Pynson, preserved fragmentarily in the binding of a book in Ripon Cathedral Library. The structure of this version is deduced by comparison with the same manuscript text, while an analysis of its type-ornaments (compared with those in other books printed by Pynson at this time) demonstrates that it was almost certainly printed later than the known fragment, perhaps c. 1509-11.
