(_)|(_)|(_)|(_)|(_)|(_)|(_)|(_)|(_)|(_)|(_)|(_)
This important addition to the field of palaeography presents a
well-illustrated history in the development of the ancient Hebrew Script.
This work starts at the beginning of Hebrew Script, forges through the
Second Temple period, and then deals with all the periods following it. The
author presents the basic rules of Hebrew palaeography, and a method for
the analysis of letter-forms, as well as instructions for Hebrew
calligraphy and the design of Hebrew letters, inscriptions and typefaces.
This work includes over 480 illustrations showing thousands of Hebrew
letters. It is an ideal reference work for biblical scholars and students
of ancient calligraphy.
Ada Yardeni is a renowned scholar in the field of Semitic palaeography, as
well as an accomplished graphic artist and
calligrapher. Co-published with The British Library. Publication date is
late November 2002.
