Great suggestions. Right now I'm swamped by my efforts to slowly extract the lost pen history from fragmentary newspaper and journal articles. Nothing so high-falutin'.  Sigh, not enough time.

It does look interesting. We have a few people here on the forum who speak German. Perhaps they have seen this book.

You're a good detective. Keep digging. We'll enjoy the fruits of your labor.

If you are interested in the possibilities of Italic as your handwriting style - as opposed to carefully constructed Formal Italic, then this book will be of interest as it comprises 75 pages with 107 examples of italic Handwriting by 96 scribes, all members of The Society for Italic Handwriting .The range and variety of interpretations is staggering,With many different approaches to the style.  When it appeared in 2002 it was a limited printing - my copy is no 230 of 350 but there may be one or two out there looking for a good home! Well worth a search.

Thank you Ken for the introduction.  It is on my search list.  Italic is my daily writing hand and am a member of The Society for Italic Handwriting.

One of the member strictly uses a quill, hand cut and dipped.

Such an amazing dedicated group and I believe they are seek a new President.
