Description
Readers will find that the latest book by Paul Berry is his best to date. In a series of well-organized chapters, the reader is taken on a guided tour of the various parts of the Roman world of the 1st century. The text is illustrated not by indistinct photographs, but by exact ink reproductions of the Latin letter forms written at the time. The facsimiles of the penmanship styles are of the highest clarity, and are accompanied by parallel restatements of the original scripts, in modern typeface. English translations are also joined to each specimen. As a result, the lay reader is able to follow every exhibit with a growing sense of excitement. Robert J. Edgeworth
