Cataneo

[Ken Fraser]

The reputation of the 16th century calligrapher Bennardino Cataneo is based on a single manuscript book of twenty pages. The superb quality of his minuscule (x height 2mm) writing sufficed to establish his reputation in the world of calligraphic masters.
 
I have written this in his cancellaresca corsiva style of formal italic, but I've made no attempt to simulate his immaculate, minuscule writing!

"An Italic Copybook - The Cataneo Manuscript" by Stephen Harvard is published by Taplinger Publishing Company (a Pentalic Book)
