Sinossi
Excerpt from Roman Cursive Writing
There are various difficulties inherent in the subject matter Of this book. In the first place, Roman Cursive writing is not easy to read; its documents are difficult, sometimes im possible, to find, in their widely scattered places of preser vation; facsimile reproductions, where they exist, are full of pitfalls for the inexperienced or unwary. Moreover, in the transcription of alphabets, it has, in general, been necessary on account of exigencies of travel or the dim or fragile con dition of facsimiles or original mss., to use the less accurate, free-hand method. Finally, the inaccessibility of some of the literature on the subject has caused to be unrealized the hope of a complete bibliography. Nevertheless practically all the extant material known up to the year 1910 was studied in original, photograph, or facsimile, and with a view to the palaeographical discussion of each document, to the writing of a consecutive, comprehensive history 'of Roman Cursive writing from its origin to the time of its development into the National hands and the Italian notarial scripts, and to the approximate dating Of a number Of papyri bearing no actual dates. The delay (since 1910) in the publication of the book has added some new material much of which has not as yet become accessible by facsimile or otherwise and, consequently, could only be inserted here without palaeographical discussion.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed history of Roman cursive writing from its origin to the time of its development into the National hands and the Italian notarial scripts. It sheds light on the various differences between Roman cursive and capital writing, before the beginning of the Common Era. The author has made use of various sources to narrate this history, including the graffiti of Pompeii, wax tablets from the same city, Dacian and Egyptian wax tablets and finally, papyri and ostraka. Several undeciphered Dacian tablets have also been deciphered and translated in this book. These sources have been compared with one another, to the writing of inscriptions, and to the cursive hands found in a variety of Christian inscriptions. This book thus presents a comprehensive and meticulously researched study of Roman cursive writing. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781332313099_0
