: High-Resolution Operina Scans I'm not sure if this is the right forum but there doesn't seem to be a dedicated typography forum. I'm looking for high-resolution scans from pages of Arrighi's

I'm not sure if this is the right forum but there doesn't seem to be a dedicated typography forum.

I'm looking for high-resolution scans from pages of Arrighi's La Operina, which is a classic manual for calligraphy and for the 'chancery italic' approach to pre-printing-press typography. I'm aware of an on line resource of "the" work, but the resolution is too low.

The work doesn't have to be authentic and I'll consider examples of modern interpretations. I have a copy of Three Classics of Italian Calligraphy but it doesn't show enough detail.

Any help appreciated.

There is a copy on Archive.org: archive.org/details/laoperinadiludou00arri which seems to be higher resolution.

If that doesn't suit, my suggestion would be to buy www.myfonts.com/fonts/ihof/p22-operina/gallery.html and use it to re-set the text you need --- if you just want the cleaned-up appearance you could use Adobe Poetica.

John Howard Benson made a lovely translation, which I highly recommend. While the English pages are still copyrighted, the Italian are public domain.
