Text: Synthesis

Looking at the history of writing, one sees that it has a long connection with visual information, not least the origin of many alphabetic systems in hieroglyphics and other originally visual forms of writing. Medieval manuscripts present some sort of hypertext combination of letter sizes, marginalia, illustrations, and visual embellishment, in the form of both calligraphy and pictorial additions. (Landow 63)
