This is a detail from a ‘Design for a British Senate House’ (Sir John Soane’s Museum, London) that was drawn by John Soane when he was in Rome, and which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1779. It is the earliest known example of the monoline sanserif inscriptional letter of Republican Rome that was revived at this date and became widely used for signs and typography.

It is difficult to cover all the developments and movements of typography in a short space. My separation of evolving technologies from the development of typefaces is an artificial one---designs and the technology used to create them are not truly separable---but perhaps it is conceptually useful.

I recently migrated my blog from WordPress to Jekyll, a fantastic website generator that’s designed for building minimal, static blogs to be hosted on GitHub Pages. The simplicity of Jekyll’s theming layer and writing workflow is fantastic; however, setting up my website took a lot longer than expected.

You can remove pictures just from the device by going to the upper left and clicking on the "Photos". That should bring up a menu, where you scroll down almost to the bottom to get to "On Device". Bringing up that list is just the photos on the device (instead of all the photos that G+ knows about), and when you delete there it only affects the device storage, not the backed up version. See https://support.google.com/plus/answer/3453521?hl=en for a (very) little more detail.

«За­мечательное искусство книгопечатания было изо­бретено в Майнце. Это искусство искусств, наука наук. Его чрезвычайная продуктивность позволила вызволить из мрака сокровища знаний и мудрости, чтобы обогатить и просветить мир», - писал уже в 1474 г. в своей хронике Вернер Ролевинк. Но сама история изобретения способа печатать текст под­вижными металлическими литерами выяснена еще не до конца. Очевидно одно: современный спо­соб печатания изобретен был не сразу и не одним человеком. Эпоха настоятельно требовала удов­летворения возрастающего спроса на книги, а ксилографическая печать справиться с этой зада­чей не могла. Во многих странах Европы печатники интенсивно искали пути усовершенствований. К этому же их побуждала и взаимная конкуренция.

The printing press was the great innovation in early modern information technology, but economists have found no macroeconomic evidence of its impact. This paper exploits city-level data. Between 1500 and 1600, European cities where printing presses were established in the 1400s grew 60 percent faster than otherwise similar cities. Cities that adopted printing in the 1400s had no prior advantage and the association between adoption and subsequent growth was not due to printers choosing auspicious locations. These findings are supported by regressions that exploit distance from Mainz, Germany – the birth place of printing – as an instrument for adoption.

Welcome to new users of this site, and welcome back to those returning for another look. This site provides an introduction to medieval manuscripts through the medium of the arcane art of paleography, or the history and decoding of the forms of handwriting. Fear not! It is designed to be interesting and fun, based around interactive exercises cooked up from samples of old scripts in public collections or in the personal possession of myself or other helpful individuals. Some of the manuscripts are august and famous, and other are little scraps discarded by history. Some are beautiful and easy to read, and others are utterly horrible. Some are in Latin, and others in various vernaculars, including English.
