The Compositor
We might think though that there was horrible inexactness in the work of Barker and Lucas. It might be the outcome of the composer’s recklessness. The work of the compositor was a person who arranged different letters into the blocks or machine. Later, the person would prepare his work for the printing press. If the typesetter or compositor made a mistake, their errors would be seen in their final product.
The Ten Commandments
There was an unfortunate event that happened when there were typographically mistakes in the book, especially when the error was in the critical message in the Ten Commandments of the Old Testament. The worst part was, the fault in the book reversed the meaning of the commandments. Notably, it was the statement in the commandment telling us, “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”
