    Brahmi script becomes Abrahamic in the closed captions. Very funny this bit, but overall a nice survey of the subject well worth watching even if very few have viewed it. Way before KZread existed, Arabic sources could move from Barāhima (Brahmanist) to Ibrāhīm (Abraham) with astounding ease. And if you look put a search on it you find out a lot of people make a lot of hay out of the similarity of the two, drawing amazing conclusions. So if we, with our cultivated intelligence, confuse them why shouldn't artifice intelligence (A.I.), too?

    Please please please put the brake is the right way round before using the Kelmscott Goudy press again, as using it like this can cause serious damage to the press, if the bed hits these pieces of pipe hard it will result in the end of the rails breaking off!! Which I have seen. I think we all would be unhappy if this were to happen to such a rare printing press, two bolts and 30 minutes work, please do this soon. Hugh

    Thank you for your concern. When the press is reinstalled in the renovated Cary Library, the brake will be turned around 180 degrees in the proper position. The press will not be in use for 2 years during this renovation.

    I can be sure that these wood types are not wooden punches, because in China and Japan's typeface history did not have punch type technology. These are just wood types for print.

    These were master designs and not for straight printing. This was from the time when Western metal type printing was introduced to China/Japan and making metal Chinese types finally made practical sense. Metal was more durable and reproduction was easier, if there was an easy way to make them. Thankfully that easy way was found, called electrotype and the process was chemical in nature. When a new design was made for electrotype, the source material for punches were normally wood. Looking at the designs, they are not necessarily the easiest to carve by hand, and in repetition (and I am not certain yet but you probably won't find the same letters repeating). These observations makes me have little doubts that this set (of assorted styles) were indeed masters.

    Chinese learned electrotype from Mr. William Gamble in shanghai 美華書館 in 1863 Mr. William Gamble, when he returned to the homeland Philadelphia and stopped at Nagasaki, therefore the Japanese requested him to teach but Gamble could not stay for a long time, so he called his three Chinese students from Shanghai to Japan of Nagasaki. Chinese use moveable and unmoveable wood types to print books for a long time, but not these so big sizes typeface.

    @@glgko7638 Gamble and Shozo Motogi established a metal type foundry in Nagasaki, most likely using electrotype. The stuff in this acquisition feature more matured designs and what look like business logos, which suggests they are from a later time when the technique was well established enough to be used in commercial context (the size is 初号 by the way).

    Dear Stani, I think with that word we have to cautious in the internet. It took me 42min to hear his conservative or reactionary opinion about youth protests and their influence on education. But "nazi" does not fit in my opinion.

    Of course you're right. To be clear, I was referring only to his opinions, not his war record. But it was bizarre to hear this out-of-nowhere tirade about how education shouldn't be free because it breeds activism in the middle of unrelated discussion about letters. Seems even the 2 hosts felt uncomfortable.

    @@JohnSommersPI Sure, education has to be free. I think he was concerned that there was no education at all possible because of the student protests. I wasn't there in Frankfurt at the time. And in wikipedia I can't find any activities in NSDAP-activities. But he was in war and did service. I did meet him in 1996 and I was surprised by his freedom of thoughts. (Because his first appearance to me seemed reactionary, too.)
