It is a completely detailed handbook where the author explains how to draw Roman characters. The font style utilized for the text - a Humane/Jenson type - was not a really beautiful one, but rough and all set, and the book is well understood for its capital letters designs.

We are using here the two complete historical type sets and more-- we have completely redrawn the lacked letters: J, U and W, Eth, Lslash, Thorn and Oslash in the 2 initial types.
