Lettering in Fifteenth Century Florentine Painting

Abstract

This paper attempts to deal with lettering as art history.1 With a few—both understandable and significant—exceptions, it focuses upon the letter forms employed by fifteenth century Florentine painters in their paintings. Its point of departure is the well-known fact that during the fifteenth century the Gothic style of lettering of the late Middle Ages was gradually made to yield to two other styles of lettering, roman capitals and a new script called humanistica.
