Synopsis
For the calligrapher - but also for the paleographer and all those who delight in fine penmanship - here are the finest available examples, selected with painstaking care, of major book hands from Roman times to the Renaissance. Reproductions show the scripts on the original page (with complete margins) and in enlarged and actual-size detail for analysis of pen movement and an appreciation of scale.
