Beschreibung

This little book investigates the history of Bible typography and Bible versions, the "art sublime," from ancient roots to modern examples. An Appendix of older typographic fonts, many of them hand written and digitized for modern use, is also offered.

Über den Autor

In addition to his work as a pastor and theologian, Carl Shank is a layout and type designer having started with IBM Selectric Composers and phototypesetters in the early 1980s and then Apple LaserWriters in 1985 and beyond. He worked for a regular Washington D.C. area print shop heading up the typesetting and layout department in the early 1980s.

Carl designed an initial Greek font for the Zondervan Corporation in the early 1990s and has worked with his own company, CARE Typography, since the late 1980s. He has developed an appreciation for not merely the mechanics of good typesetting and layout work, but also the fine art of the craft of typesetting.

This Bible type history is from a deep dive study of the history of typography and printing, as indicated by the Selected Bibliography. Carl is grateful for all the professional typesetters and designers who have offered assistance over the years and submit this booklet as an ongoing study of the field.
