used for correspondence and
personal memoranda by the
scribes of the Middle Ages.
With i increasing: ‘intérnational
commerce in the fifteenth
and ~ sixteenth centuries,
there arose a greater need

for forms of handwriting for

correspondence. The inform-

- al type of writing used at the

Vatican, Chancery cursive,
became \ *dely known due to
the influedce of the Catholic
Church, and was adopted in
many countries. In England,
it became known as Italic

- (owing to its country of

origin).

The first printed writing
book. to teach Italic was La
Operina by Arrighi, printed
in Rome in 1522."

Italic uses 2 square-edged

nib to produce an attractive :

and legible combination of

thick and thin lines. The-

letters are oval rather than

2 .round,..and have a classic
- Simplicity. -

The script, in addition to
being excellent for everyday
handwriting, can be used to

particular advantage in the
' formal lettering of such items

as posters, wedding invita-
tions, and greeting cards.
And once one has mastered

the basic form of Italic, jit is--.
