Schriftatlas II, 3a

09/03/2013by REASArch

[The recto of folio 3 features two diagrams, one apparently superimposed upon the other at a later date. The first, rendered in black ink is redolent of Michelangelo’s human figure […]

Schriftatlas III, 3a-3b-4a-4b-5a-5b

09/03/2013by REASArch

Schriftatlas II, 7a

27/02/2013by REASArch
