Jureći sinoć nešto po netu slučajno naletim na tekst o izvesnom Italijanu Pauliniju, valjda je čovek iz 17 veka.

On je tada osmislio svoj “font”. Uspeo sam da nađem samo 4 slike.

E sad, pre slika evo nešto o svemu tome:

Paulini’s alphabet is undated, and it is not known where it was printed, or by whom. Nor is anything known about Paulini himself. It comprises the twenty letters A-I, L-T, V and Z. ‘ Each letter is a fantastic composite of human figures, botanical and marine specimens, landscapes or cityscapes, with a frame of arabesques, grotesques, putti, antique statuary, and the like. No two frames are identical. Each letter encapsulates a mythological episode from the Methamorphoses of Ovid. For example: the A for Actaeon, B for Bacchus, C for Cadmus, etc. The Ovidian episode is illustrated behind each letter, and printed captions identify the figures: for example “Ateone mutato in Cervo da Diana:” Actaeon being metamorphosed into a deer by the nude bathing Diana, etc.’
