Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: A scan of a book page from 1685 that demonstrates how inverted commas were used in the 1600s–1700s. An inverted comma preceded the entire line of text being quoted or distinguished. In this case, it marks the author's personal commentary to distinguish it from the proper text of Euclid. |
