Handwriting is something we do every day. Learned at school, one has either made friends with the "running handwriting" or soon exchanged it for printed handwriting. In fact, cursive or cursive writing has been part of our human civilization for thousands of years and was used to store knowledge. This richly illustrated book takes you through the history of writing in Europe, presents historical and political facts about handwriting and picks up on current discussions on the subject of handwriting. Since cursive writings are strongly influenced by the writing tool and the carrier materials, digressions on goose quills, slates or felt-tip pens should not be missing.
