Le premier manuel d'écriture illustré publié en Angleterre, par le maître écrivain parisien huguenot Jean de Beauchesne et par l'Anglais John Baildon, inconnu par ailleurs. Il est vraisemblable que Beauchesne ait fourni les écritures françaises et italiennes et Baildon les écritures anglaises, dont cette 'secretary hand,' archétype de la cursive d'usage courant dans l'Angleterre élisabéthaine.
The first illustrated writing manual published in England, by the Huguenot Parisian writing master Jean de Beauchesne and the otherwise unknown Englishman John Baildon. It is likely that Beauchesne provided the French and Italian scripts and Baildon the English scripts, including this 'secretary hand', the archetypal cursive commonly used in Elizabethan England.

Draw a rectangle directly on the document image to show the part of the image to transcribe (e.g. draw a rectangle around a character or word).
To begin drawing click in the top left corner of the part and drag your cursor to the bottom right corner of the part. If you make a mistake simply start drawing the rectangle again (the old rectangle will be automatically deleted).
