For abecedarian poems of old Psalm one nineteen had set the mld.An acrostic established the sequence plan of an ancient Hebrew's alphabet span. In economy-minded today we get one word to a line, and the poem is set to ride an oblique slant down to the end of the message enclosed in a poetic blend. Abecedaria, a form of Acrostic, use letters of the alphabet in sequence. The one hundred and nineteenth Psalm is an abecedarium in the original Hebrew. This collectin has reduced each selection to twenty-six lines, one word t a line.".The author, Rober S Lorance's is/was the nationally acclaimed choral director of the North Fulton Special Choir, which included such later luminaries as Jack Davis and James Dickey.Harvey Dan Abrams is a publisher of unique limitd publications usually in the fine arts field."ABECEDARIA - An abecedarium (or abecedary) is an inscription consisting of the letters of the alphabet, almost always listed in order. Typically, abecedaria (or abecedaries) are practice exercises. Some abecedaria include obsolete letters which are not otherwise attested in inscriptions. For example, abecedaria in the Etruscan alphabet from Marsiliana (the Tuscana town) include the letters B, D, and O, which indicate sounds not present in the Etruscan language and are therefore not found in Etruscan inscriptions. Others, such as those known from Safaitic inscriptions, list the letters of the alphabet in different orders, suggesting that the script was casually rather than formally learned. At, or near, the beginning of the Christian era, the Latin alphabet had already undergone its principal changes, and had become a fixed and definite system. The Greek alphabet, moreover, with certain slight modifications, was becoming closely assimilated to the Latin. Towards the eighth century of Rome, the letters assumed their artistic forms and lost their older, narrower ones. Nor have the three letters added by the Emperor Claudius ever been found in use in Christian inscriptions. The letters themselves, it may be said, fell into disuse at the death of the Emperor in question. The alphabet, however, employed for monumental inscriptions differed so completely from the cursive as to make it wholly impossible to mistake the one for the other. The uncial, occurring very rarely on sculptured monuments, and reserved for writing, did not make its appearance before the fourth century. The number of Christian objects bearing the Abecedaria, with the exception of two vases found at Carthage, is extremely limited. On the other hand, those of heathen origin are more plentiful, 009629 Size: 9 ¼ x 6. Signed by Author(s). Book.…
