Laurentius Greek Smallcaps

Reproduction of page of Laurentius de Alopa's edition of the works of Apollonis of Rhodes, Florence 1496, displaying early use of Greek smallcaps. Note that smallcaps are accented like lowercase letters, not like all-caps. Note also the petite 'prosgegrameni' (adscript mute iota).
