Books by Hand: Italy
The International Center for Calligraphic Arts organizes the course:
BOOKS BY HAND
FROM HISTORICAL MANUSCRIPTS TO CONTEMPORARY GESTURAL WRITING
with Monica Dengo and Cristina Balbiano
Arezzo, October 18 - 25, 2008
Books by Hand is a calligraphy and bookbinding workshop held in Arezzo, a beautiful medieval art city in
Tuscany, near Florence. This unique course offers students the opportunity to rethink the relation between
form and function. Having access to the historical sources, we will study directly from a manuscript written
in a clear Carolingian hand, kept at the Arezzo Public Library.
