Characterie (Classic Reprint): An Arte of Shorte, Swifte, and Secrete Writing by Character - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Master a fast, secret style of writing that turns words into brief, easy-to-read symbols.
This edition presents Timothe Bright’s early guide to characterie, a method that teaches how to form simple and compound characters and how their marks convey meaning. It covers the two main parts of the art: making the characters themselves, and understanding what they signify. Learn how a single line or curve can stand for a whole word, and how additions at the head or foot change the symbol’s function.
- How to draw straight and crooked lines as the building blocks of characters
- Ways to combine parts into simple or compound characters
- How to place marks to indicate position, meaning, and reference to words
- Guidance on using this system to refer words by sense and relation
Ideal for readers curious about early shorthand, historical writing systems, or the craft of compact, rapid notation. This edition offers a clear view of the technique, its rules, and its practical aims, suitable for study or curiosity about 16th–17th century writing methods.
