The art of calligraphy: Etymologically, the word "calli-" derives from the ancient Greek "kalos", meaning "beauty"; the word "-graphy" corresponds to the ancient Greek "-graphia" for "writing, depicting, describing" to ancient Greek "graphein" for "carving, writing".

Calligraphy is a wonderful hobby. You will find more information about calligraphy and the use of the different kinds of pen nibs on the following pages (see ▪ FAQ). The worlds largest selection of antique dip pen nibs and other writing accessories can be found in the ▪ Calligraphy Shop.
