+ John Baskerville (1706-1775) got involed in typography late in his career but
+ his contribution was significant.Baskerville was also involved in the design
+ of a Greek typeface which he used in an edition of the New Testament for
+ Oxford University, in 1763. He adopted the practice of avoiding the excessive
+ number of ligatures which Alexander Wilson had started a few years earlier
+ but his Greek types were rather narrow in proportion and did not win the
+ sympathy of the philologists and other scholars of his time. They did
+ influence, however, the Greek types of Giambattista Bodoni. and through him
+ Didot's Greek in Paris.
+
+ The typeface has been digitally revived as GFS Baskerville Classic by Sophia
+ Kalaitzidou and George D. Matthiopoulos and is now available as part of GFS'
+ type library.
