The earliest forms of calligraphy date back to caveman paintings. Up until roughly 1440 AD, before the printing press was around, calligraphy was the way books and other publications were made. A scribe had to handwrite every individual copy of every book or publication. The handwriting was done with a quill and ink onto materials such as parchment or vellum. The lettering styles used throughout the ages include Rustic, Carolingian, Blackletter, etc. There are three main styles of calligraphy: u Western or Roman u Arabic u Chinese or Oriental
