Wow.,
This review is from: Calligraphy (Calligraphia Latina) (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
This is incredibly detailed, and copyright free! I can hardly imagine conceiving of the alphabets used. Included are the names of the heads of Europe of the time, with their crowns, several alphabets, several animals, many different cherubs, and hundreds of frames and ornamentations of varying sizes, but all of fabulous complexity. The crown jewel is the title page, a two-page calligraphic temple. One problem I have with it is that no alphabet has the letter 'J.' 'J' only appears in a few of the names.

The book came in great condition as promised and quickly. I would buy again from this company if they had something I was looking for as they did this time.
