Name used since Renaissance times (from the Latin penna, referring to the quill pen used in the past for writing).
Description
Pen point used with ink, made of either a goose quill or a metal such as brass or silver. Vincenzo Scamozzi describes it in his treatise on architecture: “Let the pens be made of our own goose quills, manageable, clear and transparent, and medium-fine… But pens for outlining, and drawing capitals… do not suddenly burn the ink, nor damage the edges of rulers, like those made of Brass, or Silver, or other metals….”
Bibliographical Resources
Scamozzi, Vincenzo, L’idea della architettura universale, Venezia, 1615, Parte I, Lib. I, Cap. XV, p. 50.
