• Relatively large letters generally contained within a single pair of imaginary horizontal lines; now usually called capital letters.
• The Greek and Latin alphabets were both originally written in this way.

• Relatively small letters whose parts often extend above and below a pair of imaginary horizontal lines; now usually called small letters or lower-case letters.
• Minuscule writing was a gradual development, known in Greek from the 7th–8th centuries AD.

• A form of professional writing used in Greek and Latin manuscripts during the 4th–8th centuries AD.
• The style consists of large (the name means ‘inch-high’), simple, rounded letters.
• A later development, now known as half-uncial or semi-uncial, prepared the way for modern small letters.
• Half-uncial is often found in early manuscripts from the British Isles, where the style of writing developed an ‘insular’ character of its own.

• Handwriting in which the characters are joined in a series of rounded, flowing strokes, which promotes ease and speed.
• Often now known colloquially as ‘script’ (US) or ‘joined-up writing’ (UK), it was widely used from the 4th century BC, and eventually replaced uncial and half-uncial as the handwriting norm.

• The use of capital letters and small letters in a single system.
• This development took place during the renaissance associated with the reign of Emperor Charlemagne (742–814), as part of the script which was later called Carolingian minuscule.
• Carolingian writing, promoted throughout Europe, was an important influence on later handwriting styles.
• For example, modern Roman printed letters derive from a classical style, based on the Carolingian, introduced in Italy by humanist printers in the early 15th century.
