Orig.-Leinen (ohne den Schutzumschlag). 25,5 : 19,5 cm. * "Calligraphy and Palaeography is a collection of zwenty-seven essays which savants from the U.S.A., Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Holland and Britain have contributed to honour the seventieth birthday of Alfred Fairban, C.B.E., himself on of the most distinguished calligraphers of our time and pioneer of the revival of italic handwriting. A section devoted to palaeography includes original work by Professor B. L. Ullman, who adds another piece to his grand mosaic of humanistic scripts; Professor F. Wormald, who discusses a tenth-century lectionary; and Dr. R. W. Hunt, who writes a fascinating account of a Pliny which used to belong the scribe Coluccio Salutati. Other essays are devoted to famous writingmasters - Arrighi, Mercator, Cocker, Hodgkin and Benjamin Franklin Foster. John Dreyfus relates a little known anecdote about Oscar Wilde. Professor Godeffrey Tillotson reminisces on how the italic hand came to him in Oxford in the twenties, Paul Standard on how to New York and Bent Rohde on its spread to Denmark. There is also a selection of work from the quarterly journal of the Society for Italic Handwriting." (Verlag). - Mit Index. - Sehr gut erhalten.
