Modelos Caligráficos na Escola Brasileira: uma história do Renascimento aos nossos dias. 2011. 258f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Design) – Escola Superior de Desenho Industrial, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, 2011. Se a escrita pessoal precisa sobreviver como habilidade individual perante as novas técnicas de produção textual, parece-nos necessária uma análise da escrita manual sob uma nova perspectiva. Num universo regido pelas mídias tecnológicas, no qual o computador pode ser visto como uma verdadeira extensão do homem, qual o lugar da escrita manual na atualidade? E, ainda: acreditando que o design po- de auxiliar o educador, de que forma o mesmo pode interferir na aquisição da escrita manual e na formação de uma escrita legível e funcional? O presente projeto de pes- quisa procura lançar luzes sobre este tema a partir de uma síntese dos principais mo- delos de escrita adotados na educação fundamental no Brasil durante o século XX. Para tanto, vamos elencá-los e analisá-los buscando relações e pontos comuns entre esses modelos e apontando para uma reflexão futura, calcada no campo do design e, em especial, da tipografia, tendo a aquisição da escrita como pano de fundo. Palavras-chave: Escrita manual. Modelos caligráficos. Ensino da escrita no Brasil. Design de tipos. ABSTRACT If the personal handwriting has to survive as individual skill against the new techniques of writing, it seems necessary to analyze the handwriting in a new per- spective. Since we live in a universe governed by the technological media, in which the computer can be seen as a true extension of man, what is the place of handwrit- ing? And yet, believing that design can help the educator, how to interfere in the ac- quisition of handwriting and the development of a functional and legible writing? This research project attempts to shed light on this issue from a synthesis of the main models of writing adopted in primary education in Brazil during the twentieth century. To this end, we list those models and analyze them in the search of relationships and commonalities between these models and pointing to future notes, based on the de-

  • Paläographie Der Neuzeit
    Paläographie der Neuzeit: (traditionellerweise oft „Schriftenkunde der Neuzeit“). Früher typisch im Kanon der archivischen Fächer situiert als reines Hilfsmittel (Vermittlung von Lesefähigkeiten für die Lektüre frühneuzeitlicher Archivalien). Grundlegendes Problem der Literatur: es existieren zwar viele Überblicke zu „nationalen“ Schriftentwicklungen in den europäischen Ländern, aber kaum eine Übersicht über die Gesamtperspektive. Späte Verwissenschaftlichung nach dem Vorbild der Paläographie des Mittelalters erst im 20. Jahrhundert, zuvor polemische metawissenschaftliche Diskussion etwa zur Fraktur-Antiqua-Debatte. „Zweischriftigkeit“: Deutschsprachige Texte werden bis zur Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts immer in Kurrent (auch: Deutsche Schreibschrift) geschrieben, fremdsprachige Texte und Einschübe in deutschen Texten dagegen in aus dem humanistischen Schriftbereich abgeleiteten Schreibschriften. Grundsätzlich findet überall in Europa die Entwicklung der frühneuzeitlichen Schriften in zwei parallelen Bereichen statt: einerseits eine Weiterführung älterer spätgotischer Kursiven (mit teilweise charakteristischen „nationalen“ Einzelmerkmalen), andererseits eine Weiterentwicklung der aus Italien importierten humanistischen Kanzleischriften. In den einzelnen Regionen Europas wird dabei der „gotische“ Schriftstrang unterschiedlich früh oder spät auslaufen; am spätesten im deutschen Sprachraum (Kurrent als Schulausgangsschrift bis 1941 gelehrt). In der Frühen Neuzeit zunehmend dichte Publikation von gedruckten Schreibmeisterbüchern; diese ermöglichen

XVI-XVII) THE SUBSTANCE OF ELIZABETHAN DREAMS: THE “SECRETARY HAND” (16TH-17TH CENTURIES) BÁRBARA SANTIAGO MEDINA Universidad Complutense de Madrid Resumen: Durante los siglos XVI y XVII, la escritura más utilizada en Inglaterra fue la conocida como “secretary hand”. Se trató de un tipo específico de grafía gótica que alcanzó gran popularidad en época isabelina y jacobea y se empleó tanto para la factura de códices como de documentos. Coexistió junto a otras escrituras como la “itálica”, exitosa y recién llegada, concebida por los hu- manistas italianos; y las múltiples formas de “court hand”, una grafía gótica que puede encontrarse, en mayor medida, en textos legales. Este artículo pretende ser una introducción histórica al fenómeno de la “secretary hand”, presentando para ello un completo análisis paleográfico de la misma y transcripciones de diferentes casos prácticos. Palabras clave: Paleografía, Caligrafía, Historia Moderna. Abstract: In sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the workaday hand in England was the so-called “secretary hand”. It was a specific type of gothic hand that became very popular throughout Eliza- bethan and Jacobean era, being used both for books and docu- ments. But “secretary hand” wasn’t the only hand used by En- glishmen in that period of history. It existed side by side with the “italic”, a successful and recently arrived script modelled by the Italian humanists, and the multiple forms of “court hands”, a gothic handwriting found on legal documents.

Chasing down its origins uncov- ers not only a surprising turnabout from blackletter law’s original meaning, but also prompts examination of a previously overlooked subject: the history of the law’s changing appearance on the page.

These three authors were frequently mentioned and imitated in later manuals, and their own manuals were often reprinted during and after their lifetimes. The first non-Italian book on chancery was by the Flemish cartographer Gerardus Mercator. Mercator expanded on the Italian teaching method of showing, stroke by stroke, how each letter of the alphabet is made; like his Italian contemporaries, he grouped letters according to their common parts rather than alphabetically. Thus caand d are presented together since they all begin with a common stroke c and are completed with a dotless i or l. His manual goes further than any previous one in presenting the order and number of strokes in making chancery capital letters. The Italians merely presented examples of such letters to be copied. Mercator also introduced the degree pen angle for writing cancellerescasomething never suggested or practiced by Italian writing masters.

  • The Evolution of Handwriting in the English-Speaking Colonies of America
    294 The American Archivist / Summer 1980 Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/43/3/294/2746707/aarc_43_3_h84621824376w501.pdf by guest on 27 September 2021 The Evolution of Handwriting in the English-Speaking Colonies of America LAETITIA YEANDLE THE HANDWRITING OF THE EARLY ENGLISH COLONISTS was the handwriting they had learned in England; and the development of handwriting in America, until she became an independent nation, followed closely the development of hand- writing in England. Even when manuals on the subject began to be published in the Colonies in the middle of the eighteenth century, they were either reprints of English publications or largely dependent on English models. When their foreign origin became more of a liability than an asset, their source was often purposely forgotten. In the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries the handwriting used in England on an everyday basis for correspondence and business was the secretary hand. It owed much to the court hands which had evolved in the Middle Ages and which, in a fossilized state, continued to be used in certain courts of law until the early part of George II's reign. A new hand, however, was slowly displacing the secretary hand even in its heyday in the sixteenth century, a hand known as the italic or Italian hand because it had originated in Italy. This was developed by leaders of the humanist movement in the late fourteenth and fifteenth centuries to provide a hand that was both pleasing to the eye and easy to read. In England it was at first used chiefly for signing one's name, for emphasis, and by women; but as the seventeenth century progressed, its letter forms are found increasingly in the handwriting of all kinds of people, until in the eighteenth century only a few letters from the secretary and court hands continued to persist—in particular the c, the e, the r, the v, the w, and the long s.

    Marie-Madeleine Townsend AN EXPLORATION OF ENGLISH GOTHIC: CHANCE AND THE MEDIEVAL MONARCHY Degree Programme in Fine Arts 2016 AN EXPLORATION OF ENGLISH GOTHIC: CHANCE AND THE MEDIEVAL MONARCHY Townsend, Marie-Madeleine Satakunnan ammattikorkeakoulu, Satakunta University of Applied Sciences Degree Programme in Fine Arts May 2016 Supervisor: Kespersaks, Veiko Number of pages: 48 Appendices: 0 Keywords: Gothic, English medieval monarchy, chance ___________________________________________________________________ The purpose of this thesis was to explore three Gothic scripts in England, looking at the evolution from Carolingian Minuscule used for Latin into narrower Gothic, the overlay of Norman-French language and culture on Old English and increasing secu- larisation. The historical context was considered in the text, in three practice books. Part 1. Gothic scripts examined. Part 2. Protogothic. A practice book in Protogothic, based on Cotton Tib. B VIII, showed the upright nature and oval profile, which retained the legibility of Carolin- gian, while saving space and materials. The writing-angle is steepened to 35 degrees. Latin used frequent abbreviations and the half r, but English texts used little. There was no ‘biting of bows’. Three English Kings called Edward ruled between 1272 and 1377. Edward I, (1272 to 1307), a lucky and wise king, was a warrior. Successful in tournaments, when such were often deadly, after the Battle of Lewes he escaped captivity. He fought Simon de Montfort at the Battle of Evesham, where in breach of chivalry he had him executed. In expiation of sin, he went on Crusade, where he survived battles and an assassination attempt. On his way back he heard that his father died and he was King.
