      La calligraphie actuelle, fruit d'une histoire de 2 000 ans, présente de multiples styles, dont cet ouvrage ambitieux veut rendre compte. Il réunit ainsi les planches d'étude d'une centaine d'écritures, des alphabets romains aux créations de l'Art nouveau, avec de nombreux exemples d'adaptations et de modèles contemporains, tracés à la plume, au pinceau, au stylo, au tire-ligne... Pour chaque écriture, l'exécution des lettres ou groupes de lettres similaires est décomposée de façon précise et claire, à l'aide de séries de photos illustrant la gestuelle calligraphique et le tracé qui en découle. Une description des caractéristiques principales du style et des variantes possibles figure systématiquement. Avec ce guide, les débutants apprendront sans peine toutes les techniques de base. Les calligraphes expérimentés enrichiront considérablement leur répertoire et pourront s'initier à la technique de l'enluminure, développée en dernière partie.
