| Title: Library of Inextricable Books |
| By (author): Esther de Vries |
| ISBN10-13: 9082137798 : 9789082137798 |
| The Palace of Typographic Masonry is an (imaginary) institute for the splendour and variety of visual languages. Invited to make a contribution to The Palace of Typographic Masonry, Esther de Vries established the The Library of Inextricable Books. This publication gives a better picture of a specific category of books collected there. Esther de Vries asked graphic designers Linda van Deursen, Catherine Guiral and Julia Born to react and extend this growing collection. And in those cases where these colleagues were involved with the the making of a book, to tell her how the book originated. |

| Title: The Utopian Quest for a Pasigraphy |
| By (author): Edgar Walthert |
| ISBN10-13: 908351790X : 9789083517902 |
| â The Utopian Quest for a Pasigraphyâ is the newest addition to, the series of posters, initiated by the Palace of Typographic Masonry, bringing both depth and breadth to the collection. A pasigraphy â derived from the Greek words for â universalâ and â writingâ â is a system where symbols represent concepts, making it intelligible across languages. While icons like those found in airports hint at such universality, they fall short of being complete scripts. Edgar Walthertâ s original collection already included some examples of pasigraphs, such as Charles K. Blissâ s Blisssymbols and Yukio Å taâ s LoCoS, but he has now found many more. This section gathers 18 attempts to pasigraphies, each offering unique approaches. Some can represent all languages; others reflect their creatorsâ own, self-devised systems. These scripts range from practical designs to artistic experiments. Some are rooted in visionary ideals, while others stem from necessity. Whether based on abstract ideas or speech, all these pasigraphs share a common goal: closing the language gaps that are believed to divide humanity. |

| Title: Writing Systems of the Otherworld |
| By (author): Tim Brooks, Edgar Walthert |
| ISBN10-13: 9083525724 : 9789083525723 |
| â Writing Systems of the Otherworldâ is the newest addition to the series of posters on writing systems originally initiated by the Palace of Typographic Masonry, this time, investigating scripts that emerged from dreams, visions, or other unexplainable sources â systems that, like Afaka fromSuriname, Vai from Liberia or Khom from Laos, seem to bridge the space between imagination and communication. The project is developed in collaboration with international experts Tim Brookes (Endangered Alphabets) and Edgar Walthert, who together bring knowledge, research, and unique perspectives on the landscape of writing systems. |
