The many millions of Chinese Muslims who used Arabic script, at least for liturgical purposes usually adopted style that were current in Afghanistan, with slight modification. In addition to these, they evolved a special script called Sini (Chinese) with very fine lines + exaggerated roundness which they used mostly on their ceramic + chinaware. A purely ornamental style was derived from Sini which retained its roundness, but was easily distinguished by its very thick + almost triangular verticals + its comparatively thin horizontal lines.

Johannes Hamman (Hertzog) - the first production of Hamman as an independent printer after his association c H. Liechtenstein in 1492 was the Chartres Breviary completed on 7 Nov. 1486. In 1487 he was in partnership c Emericus, but in 1488 again printed alone, and so continued to 1500.

Institutiones - the 3rd part of the Corpus juris civilis, the Institutes were conceived as an introductory manual that would provide a concise + clearly arranged outline of the law: Written by a commission of 3 under the direction of Tribonian + largely based on Gaius' 2nd century Commentarii institutionum, the work contributed to serve for centuries as the elementary text c which students began their studies of Roman law.
