Buch das gut : enthaltend den Katechismus, Betrachtung, Gesang
A Micmac-language Catholic prayer book with catechism, meditations and hymns, printed in Vienna in 1866 by the Imperial-Royal printing house for Micmac readers in Canada and the northeastern United States. Its pages show rows of hieroglyph-like Micmac hieroglyphic characters, the pictographic script used by Micmac and missionary printers, built from angular strokes, loops, hooks, and boxed or stacked forms, which a designer could adapt as an invented glyph alphabet or border pattern.
