The alphabet abecedarium: some notes on letters

Trama

If you think you know your alphabet, think again. In chapters that are descriptive, illustrative and diverse, we are shown the history and development of every letter - from ancient script to present day computer alphabets- how its shape evolved, how its characteristics were encoded, and how its history, attributes, and meanings were reflected in myth, literature, science and religion.
