Publications SCRIPTOR BOOKS The SYMBOLISM of HANDWRITING by Max Pulver THE SYMBOLISM OF HANDWRITING by Dr Max Pulver, the Swiss graphologist, has, since its first publication in 1931, passed into the graphological canon as one of the pioneering works of graphology. Perennially in print, it has been translated from the original German into French, Spanish and Italian and now at last into English. It fulfils a long-felt want for English-speaking graphologists. Although there have been summaries of this work, its true richness and poetic quality can only be appreciated by reading it in the author's own words. The Symbolism of Handwriting, according to Dr. J.C. Gille-Maisani of the Université Laval, Quebec, is "essentially the systematic application to handwriting of the symbolism of space". Like all truly original concepts, it seemed so obvious once it had been stated that it is hard to imagine graphology without it. This work gave to graphologists the key to unlock the secret door to the subconscious, from whose depths spring the motivating impulses of a writing. Consequently, it is immensely helpful with the in-depth analysis of handwriting. Indeed the symbolism underlying the written expression of personality fits so naturally into people's views of the world that the idea was instantly accepted at the time. It has remained central to any analysis ever since, whether the graphologist is aware of the source or not.
