The Fell Types The Fell type collection was a gift made to Oxford University by a bishop of Oxford, Dr. John Fell (bishop of Oxford), in the late seventeenth century (ca. 1672). He bought punches and matrices in Holland and Germany in 1670 and 1672 and entrusted his personal punchcutter, Peter de Walpergen, with the cut of the larger bodies.
