Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Irish Character in Print, 1571-1923' is a comprehensive historical study examining the development and use of Gaelic typography over three and a half centuries. Written by the noted scholar E. W. Lynam, this work traces the evolution of the Irish script from the first font created in 1571 for the printing of the Irish alphabet and catechism through to the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed analysis of the aesthetic and technical challenges faced by printers attempting to adapt the traditional scribal hand into a functional movable type.Through meticulous research, Lynam explores the political and religious motivations behind various printing ventures, including the works produced by the Irish colleges on the Continent and the efforts of the Irish language movement. This volume serves as an essential reference for those interested in typographic history, Irish bibliography, and the preservation of the Irish language.
