In near-mint condition.<br/> <br/> In very fine condition this is a signed deluxe copy of a ground-breaking work on the roman alphabet by the American Catholic priest artist and calligraphy expert Father Edward Catich 1906-79. Lettering was important for the author from an early age as he was apprenticed to a sign writer as a young orphan and practiced that trade for several years before earning a master's degree in art and moving to Rome to study for the priesthood. While in Rome where he also studied paleography he made a thorough study of the letter forms incised on Trajan's Column. In the 19th century a theory emerged suggesting that the letters for such inscriptions had first been painted on with a brush before being engraved in the stone. Using the expertise he had gained as a union sign-writer Catich developed the widely accepted thesis that the letters of the imperial Roman inscriptions owed their shape and characteristic serifs not to the exigencies of the chisel or other stonecutting tools but to the use of a flat brush to paint the letters on the stone. The present work is the fullest development of that thesis which led to Father Catich's being recognized as one of the world's foremost experts on the origins and history of the roman alphabet. Our book was not only written but also printed by Catich at his Catfish press partly in type of his own design. The deluxe edition includes a full Roman alphabet of letters written out by hand by Catich; he writes in the introduction that they are intended "for study and for encouraging others in the use of the chisel-shaped brush." It is important he tells us that such a brush does not die out since ignorance of it "severely limits our western creative letter-making potential." The attractive portfolio of original calligraphy rounds out this set looking both back to the Roman tradition and forward to the future of the art so dear to Catich. Our special signed limited edition is uncommonly seen on the market. Catfish Press unknown
