Cloth, large 8vo, 28 cm, 5, 361pp, ills, facs. From the blurb: "The central argument of Stanley Morison's Lyell Lectures is that the development of script - inscriptional, calligraphic, or typographical - has been the result of changes in the religious or political environment, of friction between church and state, and of the schism between Eastern and Western Christendom. Morison begins with an early example of alphabetic forms on a gravestone from sixth-century Melos and proceeds, through commentary on a notable collection of more than 180 illustrated specimens, to trace the career of the Graeco-Roman alphabet up to its use in newspaper typefaces of the 1950s. He also seeks to show that the most widely used printers' typefaces of the twentieth century owe more to their Greek than to their Roman antecedents. Originally delivered in 1956-7, when Morison was Lyell Reader in Bibliography in Oxford, the lectures were edited and completed by Nicholas Barker and finally published in 1972."
