  • Five Centurie< of German Fraktur by Walden Font
    Five Centurie< of German Fraktur by Walden Font Johanne< Gutenberg 1455 German Fraktur represents one of the most interesting families of typefaces in the history of printing. Few types have had such a turbulent history, and even fewer have been alter- nately praised and despised throughout their history. Only recently has Fraktur been rediscovered for what it is: a beau- tiful way of putting words into written form. Walden Font is proud to pres- ent, for the first time, an edition of 18 classic Fraktur and German Script fonts from five centuries for use on your home computer. This booklet describes the history of each font and provides you with samples for its use. Also included are the standard typeset- ting instructions for Fraktur ligatures and the special characters of the Gutenberg Bibelschrift. We hope you find the Gutenberg Press to be an entertaining and educational publishing tool. We certainly welcome your comments and sug- gestions. You will find information on how to contact us at the end of this booklet. Verehrter Frakturfreund!

Satz: LuaTEX und Bernhard Assmann Some Roads to Script Classification: Via Taxonomy and Other Ways Torsten Schaßan Abstract In codicology, the features of a script play an important role for dating and localising the manuscript. There are other questions that can be dealt with by examining these features, e.g. questions of intellectual history, influences of literary genres, or influences of organisational aspects of scriptoria on the shape of a script. But especially in the context of manuscript cataloguing the classification of script is of highest importance if other evidence such as a colophon or references like the naming of celebrations for local saints cannot be found.

  • “Kurrent” Script
    A Guide to Writing the old German “Kurrent” Script by Margarete Mücke translated by hoonsh translations www.hoonsh.de Revised Edition January 2014 Freely Printable at: www.kurrent-lernen-muecke.de Here you will also find explanations and reading exercises using several fonts A Guide to Writing the old German “Kurrent” Script by Margarete Mücke Revised Edition January 2014 For those of you who would like to be able to read the old German scripts that were banned by decree in Germany in 1941, it is recommendable to first master how to write these particular scripts. I have selected the “Kurrent” script, which was in common usage in 1900. Once you have learned this particular script and its characteristic features, you will discover that it becomes far easier to decipher the preceding and subsequent German scripts. Moreover, it will make it easier to read old block letters. This course is primarily aimed at people carrying out research into their family history or those intending to delve deeper into local history and who would like to read private, business or legal historical documents. A great many of those who have participated in my courses, which, incidentally, are held at the local adult education centre (Volkshochschule) here in the German city of Krefeld, have told me that they have become much more adept at editing texts expeditiously. Perhaps this would also be interesting for young people who, prior to their studies at university, would like to interpret the meaning of old German handwriting. It should be noted that mastery of the German language in both spoken and written forms is a prerequisite.
