Of the just shaping of letters. From the applied geometry of Albrecht Dürer. Dür
Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - This volume was first published as part of Diirer's theoretical treatise on applied geometry, "Underweysung der Messung mit dem Zirckel und Richtscheyt" (1525), usually known in English as "The Art of Measurement." Diirer's interest in the art (or betterscience) of lettering was a natural outgrowth of his own practical and theoretical preoccupations and of the growing interest throughout Western Europe in writing and instructional copy-books (stimulated by the introduction of the printing press, the consequent wider dissemination of books, and the expanding Renaissance spirit). "Of the Just Shaping of Letters" is principally concerned with setting out precise rules for the geometric construction of Roman capitals (majuscules)-those classical letters seen in stone inscriptions.
