Second Edition edited by Mary W. Gilroy. A handsomely illustrated look at the history, lineage, and development of our alphabet, which Philip Hofer called "a work of genius." Father Catich also surveys letter cutting in stone, the role played by the brush in shaping our classic Roman alphabet, and other topics related to the graphic arts and paleography. Well illustrated, and printed in colors. Bound in the original multi-color pictorial wraps. Oversize Softcover. 8" wide by 10.75" tall. This large, heavy book may require extra postage for Priority and International shipments, but only the standard charge for media mail. From the rear cover:"This handsomely illustrated book goes beyond a discussion of the serif. Here you will find a new approach to the history, lineage, and development of our alphabet, a detailed explanation of letter cutting in stone, the manner in which the brush differs from all other writing tools, and the role it played in the shaping of our classic Roman alphabet, with a wealth of other information pertinent to the graphic arts, including an account of the early twentieth century Chicago sign writing and its relation to Imperial Roman epigraphy. The serif is the short cross stroke at the beginning and end of letter parts. Its origin in Roman inscription letters is one of the uncharted areas of paleography. In this book the author questions accepted theories as to the serif's origin, and advances his own theory with skillful reasoning, detailed illustration, and epigraphic proof.". Second Edition. Oversize Softcover. Fine condition. Illus. by NOT a library discard. xi, 312pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. NOT a library discard (illustrator).
