Modestly priced introduction to historical writing, 20 Aug 2000
By Elise C. Boucher "merouda" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Calligraphy in the Middle Ages (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography) (Paperback)
This is the Dover reprint of "Yours Truly, King Arthur."In this book, Mr. Drogin provides history and instruction for 4 hands used in the Middle Ages.
Like many books on this subject, the hands are generally simplified, generic versions. There are, however, a number of pictures of actual, historical writings that allow you to see the real thing and compare that to Mr. Drogin's writing.
Each hand is placed into its historic context by presenting the hand in relation to a particular historic persona, giving both a short lesson on the man and the hand he might have written.
All in all, it's a nice book; seems slanted towards the youth market, but is nonetheless an excellent book for adults beginning a study of historic hands, as well.

Calligraphy of the Middle Ages and how to do it, 7 Nov 2006
By Norell B. Mounger - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Calligraphy in the Middle Ages (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography) (Paperback)
This is a book I wished had been around when I was a kid. A fun, step-by-step book for older kids showing how calligraphy developed during the Middle Ages. With each script, he introduces you to a person living during that time period, and a little history about what was going on in the world. All of the scripts have very clear pictures and instructions, plus photos of real medieval pages so you can see how the script looked. I'm an adult, but I really enjoyed this book and learned a lot.

Calligraph of the Middle Ages and How to Do it., 8 Feb 2008
By Floyd K. Allen "F.K. Allen" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Calligraphy in the Middle Ages (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography) (Paperback)
A well written, genuninely interesting volume with excellent how to and use instructions. The text alone is worth the price of the book and the time spent reading. I for one learned quite a lot and have been practicing calligraphy for a couple of decades.
