Godine in the United States and The Merrion Press in England have collaborated in publishing this facsimile of the rare and superb writing manual of Augustino da Siena. This is the last of the great writing manuals to be cut in wood, and to examine its place in the continuum of calligraphic manuals and to elucidate its text, Alfred Fairbank, the grand master of calligraphers, has written a scholarly introduction. This first modern critical edition has been prepared from the British Museum copy of the 1568 edition, of which the only other knwon copy is in Florence." #01854.
