Letter by Letter


Laurent Pflughaupt
Laurent Pflughaupt analyses each letter of the Roman alphabet in detail, tracing its origin, evolution and form. Twenty-six entries establish correspondences between letters and elements borrowed from a variety of different fields of study, ranging from traditional paleography, phonetics and graphic arts to the more arcane areas of musicology and esotericism.
