The Orientation of Human and Animal Figures in Art

Prolegomena

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

Mlle. Joséfa Ioteyko in her learned articles on La Théorie Psycho-Physiologique de la Droiterie, which were published in the Revue Philosophique, June and July, 1916, and of which an epitome appears in this number of the Journal, quotes largely from the works of Mlle. V. Kipiani, an enthusiastic educational reformer, who advocates a certain method of reading and writing, the object of which is the avoidance of unnecessary eye-strain. The method, which is fully described in the epitome, is not new. It is simply the boustrophedon mode of writing employed centuries ago by the Ancient Greeks, and abandoned by them for the method which is now used by European nations.
