This practical guide to calligraphy helps you understand how to write every script in the world. I do not try to explain how each language soundsa different, much longer bookbut how it looks when an artist writes it. You will get to know each kind of calligraphy by looking carefully at its shape, studying its masterpieces, grasping its structure, and learning its basic techniques.
Once your fingers have written a foreign script, your eyes own it. It becomes part of your world. Learning to write letters you dont read, however, is only the first step. That souvenir you picked up can be a tool that applies your new scripts techniques and tools to the familiar Roman alphabet.
Many of the worlds scripts have survived by rejecting outside influences; Roman letters thrive by embracing them. The Roman alphabet makes friends easily; when it meets a new script, it has always liked to get married and give birth to vigorous hybrid offspring. Whenever you copy a Roman hybrid or create your own, you carry on a tradition that started thousands of years ago. Those second-generation virtual alphabets make this book more than just a package tour marching you through the written world. It encourages you to spend time in exotic places without stumbling over language barriers, absorb what you see, and bring home new ways to write.
