Zu den seinerzeitigen Autoren Dr. Gabriele Stüber vom Zentralarchiv der Ev. Kirche der Pfalz in Speyer und Dr. Thomas Trumpp vom Bundes­ archiv in Koblenz Getzt im Ruhestand) trat als weiterer Autor Dr. Hans Wilhelm Eckardt vom Staatsarchiv Harnburg hinzu. Alle drei Autoren konnten in recht kurzer Zeit das Ma­ nuskript vorlegen. Bedingt durch finanzielle Engpässe mußte der Druck leider mehrmals verschoben werden. Die Zeit wurde benutzt, um die Texte und deren Transkriptionen noch­ mal gründlich zu überprüfen und zu verbessern.Der Band schließt sich eng dem Band "Fran­ zösisch im Archiv" an. Anregungen der Kritik sind dankbar angenommen worden und ha­ ben zu- hoffentlich- Verbesserungen geführt. Vor allem werden jetzt generell von sämtli­ chen vorgestellten Texten paläographische Transkriptionen geboten. Ferner ist der Literaturteil ganz ans Ende gestellt worden. Es wurde auch seitens des Herausgebers Wert darauf gelegt, daß möglichst viele Archivalientypen vorkommen wie auch daß möglichst alle Landschaften des deutschen Sprach- und Kulturraumes unter den Textbeispielen ver­ treten sind. Leider ist Österreich nicht berücksichtigt, wohl aber Bayern und die Schweiz. Ausdrücklich muß aber der Leser und Benutzer dieses durchaus als Übungsbuch und Lern­ hilfe gedachten Bandes darauf hingewiesen werden, daß es hier nicht umEditionsvorschriften und Editionsverfahren geht. Die hier gebotenen paläographischen Transkriptionen folgen weitgehend der in der Archivschule Marburg gelehrten Methode. Daß man es auch anders machen kann, zeigen die Beispiele aus der Bayerischen Archivschule und aus der Schweiz. " " Das Buch ist als "Leitfaden gedacht und wendet sich wie "Französisch imArchiv an Ar­ chivare, Historiker und alle Interessierten wie besonders auch Genealogen, die es mitdeutsch­ sprachigen Texten in unseren Archiven zu tun haben. Da derzeit ein Buch dieser Art und Zielsetzung nicht vorzuliegen scheint, bleibt zu hoffen, daß "Thun kund und zu wissen jedermänniglich" vielen Lesern und Benutzern behilflich und nützlich

  • 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.

  • A Brief History of the Blackletter Font Style
    A Brief History of the Blackletter Font Style By: Linda Tseng ● Blackletter font also called Fraktur, Gothic, or Old English. ● From Western Europe such as Germany, Germany use Gothic until World War II. ● During twelfth century to twenty century. ● Blackletter hands were called Gothic by the modernist Lorenzo Valla and others in middle fifteenth century in Italy. ● Used to describe the scripts of the Middle Ages in which the darkness of the characters overpowers the whiteness of the page. ● In the 1500’s, blackletter became less popular for printing in a lots of countries except Germany and the Countries that speaking German. ● The best Textura specimen in the Gutenberg Museum Library’s collection is comes from Great Britain. Overview ● Rotunda types, the second oldest blackletter style never really caught on as a book type in German speaking lands, although twentieth century calligraphers, as well as arts and crafts designers, have used it quite well for display purposes. ● Cursiva- developed in the 14th century as a simple form of textualis. ● Hybrida( bastarda)- a mixture of textualis and cursiva, and it’s developed in the early 15th century. ● Donatus Kalender- the name for the metal type design that Gutenberg used in his earliest surviving printed works, and it’s from the early 1450s. Blackletters are difficult to read as body text so they are better used for headings, logos, posters and signs. ● Newspaper headlines, magazine, Fette Fraktur are used for old fashioned headlines and beer advertising. ● Wilhelm Klingspor Gotisch adorns many wine label. ● Linotext and Old English are popular choices for certificates.

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.

  • Latin Palaeography in Central Europe
    Hana Patkova — Latin Palaeography in Central Europe Latin Palaeography in Central Europe Contributed by Hana Patkova Foreword: Concerning Czech Palaeography The earliest advanced palaeographical research in Bohemia dates from the late 19th century. In 1898, the first modern palaeographical handbook was published by Gustav Friedrich. Czech membership of the Comité international de paleographie latine since 1957 has ensured that research by Czech scholars has been never fully separated from the development of western palaeography. All the main topics of the Comité’s pro- jects, i.e. nomenclature of writing, catalogue of dated manuscripts (cf. http://www.palaeographia.org/cipl/ cmd.htm), and vocabulary of codicological (http://www.palaeographia.org/cipl/gloss.htm) and palaeograph- ical terms, have been engaged with by Czech researchers. As for the nomenclature project, Jiří Pražák of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences prepared a large study concerning the book-hands in the Czech Provinces from 11th to the 16th centuries. He and Pavel Spunar (of the same institution) discussed some more specialised terms, like “bastarda”. Pražák also began to work on a catalogue of dated manuscripts preserved in bohemian Libraries, but it did not progress beyond the preparatory stage. Jidřich Šebánek, professor of the University of Brno, wrote a new handbook at the end of the fifties , which took into account new discoveries and new research into bohemian palaeography. As for the vocabulary of palaeographical and codicological terms, this project was finished until the year 2008. Since 1990, Czech palaeographers have been able to regularly participate in the Congresses of the Comité. The membership has extended, and there are now two members from the Czech Republic, and one member from Slovakia.

    Introduction to Graphic Design Lecture 2 Type Classifications Introduction to Graphic Design Lecture 2 font or typeface? A typeface is a set of typographical symbols and characters. It’s the letters, numbers, and other characters such as diacritical marks that let us put words on paper or screen. A font, on the other hand, is traditionally defined as a complete character set within a typeface, often of a particular size and style. When most of us talk about “fonts”, we’re really talking about typefaces, or type families (which are groups of typefaces with related designs). Introduction to Graphic Design Lecture 2 Circular Std.

The first sans serif typeface was issued in 1816, but these typefaces did not become popular until the early twentieth century.
