Description

B1540. The Origin of the Serif by Edward Catich. 1968 (1991). 312pp. 8"x10.5". Hardcover.

May 2022: The Paperback edition is out of print.

The definitive work on the origin and development of the Roman inscriptional alphabet. Catich convincingly shows that the Trajan capitals were first brush written. Includes Catich's large brush capitals A-Z and instructions on making them. Full of illustrations. A superb reprint for all interested in Roman caps.
