Editorial Reviews
Review
'... excellent new handbook ... an excellent tool for the empirical analysis of Gothic book hands ... it serves equally as a palaeographical training manual for the later Middle Ages and as a bibliographical reference guide, and in both respects fills a vital gap ...' Times Literary Supplement
'... generously illustrated ... Derolez has proposed a practical and satisfactory framework ... equips the interested reader with a series of useful questions to ask when looking at script, and provides guidelines for interpreting the answers ...' The Library

Book Description
Albert Derolez has developed new terminology for describing the different scripts in this detailed study of handwriting in manuscript books produced in western and central Europe from c.1100 to c.1530. This makes Derolez's survey unique and an ideal tool for all interested in late-medieval book and handwriting culture. The text is illustrated with 600 drawings of letter-forms and 160 photographs of parts of manuscripts reproduced to actual-size.
