There was one curious exception. A '•Kalendar\ printed by Itntdolt at Ven- ice In 1478 has o full title page In the modern style. This remarkable'page consists of an introductory poem sur- rounded on three sides by ornamental borders, with, nt the bottom, the place of printing and dnte—\Venetlls 1476\ - and the names of the printers.. But this Is quite an exceptional In- stance. Such a title page Is hardly found again for twenty years and did not become common till about 1620, more than forty years later. A particularly noticeable feature hi many title pages of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries is the length of the descriptive titles. Con- teoversin] psmpUete and beskaef trav= el and adventure especially have titles which are extraordinarily long winded.

Field Marshal Tarlk was one of the leaders of tiie Arab Invasion, of Spain. Gebel is an Arable word mean- ing mountain. The great rock, which was by far the most conspicuous ob- ject along the shores ot the strait, wad accordingly named after Tarlk, Gebel el Tarlk, or the' mountain of Tarlk.
