330 .. $a This stunningly illustrated new book focuses on 77 intricate, expressive and individual
examples of calligraphy from the unparalleled collection of the British Library. The
author, a renowned expert on the history of the form as well as a fine calligrapher
herself, writes - uniquely - from a practitioner's point of view. Ranging from the
Middle Ages, when beautiful calligraphy was a way of celebrating the divine, to the
renaissance of the art form by William Morris, to the modern school of calligraphers
following in the wake of master typographer Edward Johnston, Patricia Lovett charts
the development of calligraphy through the history of European manuscripts. Large-scale
full-colour reproductions enable the reader to see the fine detail of each manuscript,
and to understand more clearly than ever before the painstaking craft and great artistic
skill that were necessary to create these strikingly beautiful pieces of writing
