S'està carregant… A Guide to Western Historical Scripts from Antiquity to 1600de Michelle P. Brown
   No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. This book is less useful than it seems it ought to be. I mean, it has actual exemplars, with full transcriptions, and historical info on the script used. But the pictures are black and white, and what's worse, pretty small - you can't really see how the individual letters are formed. And the text might be interesting to a paleographer, but it isn't particularly useful to a wannabe scribe. It's not a bad book, but.

For readers who wish to trace the evolution of scripts in the West from antiquity to the early modern period, and who want to read the work of their scribes, this volume provides a wide-ranging collection of materials supported by 55 full-page illustrations from manuscripts. Brown provides a synopsis of each of the major phases of development, a bibliography at the beginning of each section, and comments on regional and chronological diffusion where appropriate. Each plate is accompanied by a facing page of commentary giving a brief description of the manuscript and its script, followed by a transcription of the text.
