I have recently come into possession one of the 300 facsimiles of Jodocus Hondius’s Theatrum Artis Scribendi, a very rare book of European handwriting specimens. Seeing as how even the facsimile editions are hard to come by, I decided to photograph all of the original pages and put it online. Following are a few samples; the entire thing can be downloaded from http://www.jpad.biz/pdfs/tas.pdf.
