THE HANDBOOK OF MEDIÆVAL ALPHABETS AND DEVICES. By HENRY SHAW, F.S.A., Author of "Dresses and Decorations of the Middle Ages," &c. &.c.
This work contains twenty-six complete alphabets, and from seventy to eighty initial letters of a larger and more elaborate character, the whole forming a series of specimens of almost every type to be found from the beginning of the tenth to the end of the seventeenth century. To these have been added examples of the various forms of Arabic numerals in use from their first introduction in this country, and also a series of labels, monograms, heraldic devices, and other matters of detail, calculated to render it most useful as a work of reference.
