Signs of the books - which are full of signs that represent signs in our brains. A reminder that language is an abstraction that has a certain reality of its own.

Fascinating. Did any of this sign alphabet carry over into modern day sign language used by the deaf?

I think so. I found some articles in a journal called Semiotics that discussed this and the You Tube I included refers to a connection...but to BSL (British Sign Language!).
