ITALIC

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 920 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
ITALIC , i.e. Italian, in Roman archaeology, history and law, a
term
  used, as distinct from Roman, of that which belongs to the races,
languages
 , &c., of the non-Roman parts of
Italy
  (see
ITALY
 , Ancient
Languages
  and Peoples). In
architecture
  the Italic order is another name for the Composite order (see ORDER). The
term
  was applie1 to the Pythagorean school of philosophy in Magna Graecia, and to an early Latin version of the Bible,known also as Itala, which was superseded by the
Vulgate
 , but its
special
  technical use is of a particular form of type, in which the letters slope to the right. This is used, in present-day printing, chiefly to emphasize words or phrases, to indicate words or sentences in a foreign language, or to mark the titles of books, &c. It was introduced by the Aldine
Press
  (see MANUTIUS and TYPOGRAPHY),
