Abstract

“Following Mercator’s treatise, van de Velde’s copy-book... is usually considered the most important work on calligraphy to be printed in Holland. Van de Velde’s scripts are a link between the Italienne-bastarde letters seen in the Frenchmen Materot and Barbedor and the eighteenth-century English round hand. Van de Velde enjoyed considerable fame as a calligrapher; one of his sons was the renowned artist Jan II” -- Baltimore.
