The field is applied art, as taught at a German university. This is not a textbook. It is instead a picture book, a manual that makes visible the process of teaching and learning and the nature of the instriction process. The examples are exclusively the works of students, guests, and visitors of my evening seminars. I offer this book to teachers in elementary and secondary schools as well as professors at academies and universities. May it revitalize instruction, provide food for throughr, give encouragement, and be a beacon in the desolation of contemporary education in handwriting. The ministers of culutral affairs and education have neglected any intelligent and intensive teaching of handwriting in any applicable departments. Such neglect is foolish as well as dangerous, and should finally yield to the realization that our written heritage is an asset of extraordinary importance." ; large volume ; AS NEW.
