In Italian “specimen dei caratteri tipografici ; specimen della/delle font.”
In Turkish “yazı tipler örnek” could be possible.
In Finnish, “hyvät tyypit” maybe : )

Come si dice »type specimen« in italiano?
The term coined by Alessandro has no historical relevance. You should look for “campionario caratteri” (typeface specimen), or “campionario caratteri tipografici”, or “campionario dei caratteri”.
Great post. :=)

Claudio, hypothesis and theory are not different things but just different words for the same kind of statement. Once I also believed that the history of typography could be separated from the history of writing simply because this was the history written by learned men in famous book.
