Synopsis
Printed in letterpress, with 24 duotone offset illustrations, this book examines the calligraphy of the sixteenth century from Arrighi to Ugo da Carpi, from Tagliente to Celebrino da Udine. As always with Morison, it is full of surprises, for this was Morison s particular passion, and in the area of stylistic comparisons and close observation, Morison was an undisputed master. This is, then, not only the last major Morison text to be published, but also one of fundamental importance, covering the most important period (and the most beautiful examples) in the history of calligraphy.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 8vo (21 cm), 218, [4] pp, 21 plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj slightly rubbed at extremities and somewhat stained, bookplate and collector's blind stamp on the title page). Edited by and with an Introduction by Nicholas Barker, this edition was printed exclusively for the members of "Hoc Volo." Before his passing in 1967, the eminent English typographic historian Stanley Morison had laid the groundwork for a significant endeavor: a comprehensive exploration of the history and evolution of early Italian writing books. Representing Morison's final major contribution, this work holds fundamental importance, delving into the most crucial period and showcasing the most exquisite examples in the annals of calligraphy. From Arrighi to Ugo da Carpi, Taglienti to Celebrino da Udine, the book meticulously examines sixteenth-century calligraphy. True to Morison's style, it abounds with revelations, reflecting his profound passion for the subject matter. Renowned for his adeptness in stylistic comparisons and keen observation, Morison remains an undisputed master in the realm of calligraphy scholarship. Seller Inventory # 005154
