Good morning. Does anyone know who the author of this calligraphy is, which seems elegant and ancient to me? Thanks for your help.
Gabriele

多 樂土最推殿堂州
讀坤興圖誌
靑邨
The Hall of Fame can be said to be the best in China
Record of Kun Xin Trigram Signs Readings
Qing Cun

The first 多 character seemingly belongs to the previous seven-character line.

With regards,

Thank you very much Mr. Nagy. Although I don't understand the meaning of the sentence. In your opinion is the author Chinese? Is it an ancient piece? Best regards,
Gabriele

Dear Gabry,
The source "Record of Kun Xin Trigram Signs Readings" is Chinese, written in classical Chinese, The signature of the calligrapher also could be taken as Chinese, so I was right to assume that the calligrapher was also Chinese.
The photo you posted shows the last line of a longer calligraphy with the last character from the previous seven-character line on the top. This caused quite a bit of trouble in understanding until I realized it.
After that I didn't pay much attention to the attached seals.
Now, that I had read your answer and the seals, I did a little searching and realized that the calligrapher was Japanese.
Signature (in Japanese reading),
靑邨 Seison - Pseudonym
Upper seal,
廣瀬範 Hirose Han - Surname and private name
Lower seal,
世叔 Seshuku - Style name

Hirose Seison 廣瀬靑邨 1819-1884
Confucian scholar.
Served the Matsudairas, the lords of Funai Domain as teacher of classical Chinese. After the Restauration served as judge of Iwate Prefecture.

Inscription on the back of scroll,
廣瀬靑邨先生之書
Calligraphy of Mr. Hirose Seiton

With regards,
I.Nagy
