Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Letters die afzonderlijk werden gegoten, om te worden samengesteld tot tekst, te worden afgedrukt en vervolgens opnieuw te worden gerangschikt en gebruikt. De term wordt vooral gebruikt om te verwijzen naar de uitvinding ervan, tegen het eind van de 15e eeuw in Europa, maar al eerder in China en Korea, en in contrast met het drukken van verschillende tekens en soms beelden uit één stuk.
