Marvelous resource!
It is hard to imagine a better resource for a serious calligrapher or other student (or lover) of writing. From ancient Greek and Roman inscriptions to the humanist hands of medieval times, thirty-five important scripts are presented photographically and described by Knight. Full-page photos illustrate the scripts in context and typical use, magnified photos allow detailed examination and analysis, and to-scale specimens show the original size of the letters.
This book is a treasure of information, as well as a feast for the eyes and soul of any lover of letters.
