"Jasper "Mississippi" Travis, who paints signs under the name Brush Master, describes his start and evolution as a sign painter, as well as the philosophy behind his approach. In the center-spread, artist and poet Douglas Kearney uses his own lettering and design scheme to reflect on the cultural significance of the Brush Master. In a short but unusually rich essay titled "Drum machines have no soul: the enduring appeal of hand-painted signs" writer Sam Roberts contextualizes the Brush Master's work within the history of sign painting and supplies a smart guide to recommended reading and viewing for those who want more. Finally, Tatjana Rebelle, a writer and activist who grew up seeing signs by the Brush Master around Indianapolis, crafts verses inspired by his work. Rather than reprinting photos of these signs, Kyle Long's original photos were rendered as illustrations by these brilliant designers, along with geometric abstractions of Brush Master sign locations. The result is a three color RISO-printed production that hopefully feels true to the spirit of the source material."

This book has chapters on methodology, on the writing of the first decrees and laws of the years ca. 515 to 450 B.C., on unique examples of writing of ca. 450 to 400, on the inscribers of the Lapis Primus and Lapis Secundus (IG I3 259-280), and on those of the Attic Stelai (IG I3 421-430). These are followed by studies of 11 individual cutters arranged in chronological order. This study brings order to the study of hands of the fifth century by setting out a methodology and by discussing the attempts of others to identify hands. Another aim is to bring out the individuality of the writing of these early inscribers. It shows that from the beginning the writing on Athenian inscriptions on stone was very idiosyncratic, for all intents and purposes individual writing. It identifies the inscribing of the sacred inventories of Athena beginning about 450 B.C. as the genesis of the professional letter cutter in Athens and traces the trajectory of the profession. While the dating of many inscriptions will remain a matter for scholarly discussion, the present study narrows the dates of many texts. It also pinpoints the origin of the mistaken idea that three-bar sigma did not occur on public documents after the year 446 in order to make those who are not expert more aware that this is not a reliable means of dating.

Runic and Mediterranean Epigraphy examines the past 100 years of runic scholarship to show that previous investigations on the origin of the runes have been hampered by a series of ad hoc postulates, the greatest being that the runes cannot have come into existence before the birth of Christ. If one examines the runic, Greek, and Latin alphabets on the basis of letter shapes, graphic-phonological correspondences, direction of writing, the orthographic treatment of nasals, the use of ligatures, interpuncts, and double letters, without any regard to time, striking similiarities appear. These sim
