(Res.d'A.). The engraved model-letters calligraphy compendia of the Song dynasty functionned as performative histories of art. The course of their development, in terms of content and sponsorship, reveals how the compendia embodied the political tension between the scholar-official class and the throne during the Song. The compendia first display the universal acceptance of the classical tradition of Six Dynasties' calligraphy championned by the throne in the late tenth and early eleven centuries, then the promotion of epigraphy and other non-classical calligraphy by the scholar-officials in the mid-eleventh century, and lastly, the endorsement of the idea of cultural figures, especially Neo-Confucian personalities, as important to the history of calligraphy by both imperial and private sponsors by the late twelfth century
