"Fine Italian Hand

The origin of the phrase fine tia
linn hand" goes back to the days of
the writing master and the quill pen,
a century ago when the Italian hand
was taught for polite usage as we'll as
the clerical script for business pur-
poses and law text for scriveners
and gentlemen Of the bar. That is one
explanation. Another is based on the
career of Machiavelli, or more espe
cially his instructions to princes on
the art of governing. A third explana
ton insists that the phrase should
read fine Roman hand" and attri
butes il 10 Machiavellian subtleties ir
intrigucs of all kinds. In support o
this is quoted the line from the fourtl
scene, third act. of Twelfth Night"
Il think we do know the sweet Roman
hand"
