Visible Words: A Study of Inscriptions In and As Books and Works of Art
John Sparrow
Mr Sparrow traces the development of the inscription as a literary form in Renaissance and post-Renaissance Europe. He attributes the Renaissance concern with the visual presentation of words to the profound interest in epigraphy aroused by the rediscovery of classical inscriptions.
