Institutio ad Gallicum et Italicum modum Latine scribendi, in usum iuventutis accommodata
A 1765 penmanship manual printed at Augsburg by Johann Georg Hertel, written by I. M. R. to teach Latin handwriting to young students in the French and Italian manner. Its pages are engraved calligraphy: ornate flourished initial capitals, decorative headers, and alphabet specimens in cursive and italic hands. A designer could take from them the flourished initials, swash borders, and the way decorative scrollwork frames a line of text.
