FROM TRAJAN'S COLUMN DOWNA Book of Scripts. By Alfred Fairbank. (Penguin Books. 4s.)
Sweet Roman Hand. By Wilfred Blunt. (James Barris. 15s.)
Written By Hand. By Aubrey West. (Allen and Unwin. 7s. 6d.)
Good Handwriting and How to Acquire It. By John O. Tarr. (Phoenix House Ltd. 5s.)
Carolingian minuscule was developed during the revival of
learning associated with Charlemagne. It was a hand of great
clarity, free of cursive tendencies - though 'lower case'. It
developed into the Gothic Script of progressive heaviness and
angularity. Humanists of the 15th century rediscovered the
pre-Gothic Carolingian minuscule: it was imitated, first in
Florence, then in Rome, where it was named Cancelleresee.
The cursive form of cancelleresea is what we mean by Chancery
and Italic. The four books reviewed here re-
commend an italic revival.
Rr Alfred Fairbank's Eing Penguin A Book of Scripts was
published in 1949 and this year a third edition has appeared.
Penguin Books Ltd. do not bother themselves with small editions.
We can be certain that the editions were large and that a great
many interested readers must have seen the book. The question
arises then, who is going to read the more expensive books of
Mr. Blunt and Mr. West? So importent is Mr. Fairbank's position
in the field of modern handwriting that both writers have gone
over the same ground with Fairbank with the same purpose. Excellent as Mr
Fairbank's book is, it is to be hoped that it will not stifle
independence among his supporters.
The pattern of the arguement runs like this (it is also
found in the short historical section of Mr Tarr's book):
