Physiologie de la Lecture and de L'Ecriture (1905) was Emile
Javal's seventh book. Initially trained as an engineer, Javal
turned to medicine and to ophthalmology when he saw his sister
suffering from defects of vision. He became a renowned
ophthalmologist, developing the Javal-Schiotz ophthalmometer,
treating strabismus, and founding the Sorbonne's ophthalmology lab.
Tragically, Javal developed glaucoma and was blind by 1900. His
work investigates the 'physiology of reading and writing',
undertaking historical, theoretical, and practical approaches to
his subject. Javal's work first examines the history behind reading
and writing; he discusses epigraphy, writing, typography,
stenography, musical notation, and 'ecriture en relief', a writing
system for the blind, before turning to theoretical considerations
and concluding with practical deductions. Physiologie represents
Javal's interest in advancing a writing system for the blind by
studying how the eye reads; his was one of the first works to do
so.
