	Carolingian minuscule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carolingian or Caroline minuscule is a script developed as a writing standard in Europe so that the Roman alphabet could be easily recognized by the small literate class from one region to another.
		The new minuscule was disseminated first from Aachen, and later from the influential scriptorium at Tours, France, where Alcuin "retired" as an abbot.
		Indeed 'Carolingian minuscule' is a style of typographic font, which approximates this historical hand, eliminating the nuances of size of capitals, long descenders, etc..

	Caroline Minuscule
		The development of Caroline Minuscule, or Carolingian minuscule, was a reform which increased the uniformity, clarity and legibility of handwriting.
		Insular minuscule disappeared from the German monasteries of Anglo-Saxon foundation around the mid 9th century and was replaced by Caroline minuscule.
		Caroline minuscule was not adopted in England until the 10th century when it was associated with the reform of Benedictine monasticism.

	Carolingian Scripts
		21-24: The Caroline minuscule lasted more than four centuries in its original incarnation and then, largely as the result of its introduction into printing as the roman type font in the 1460s, has lasted almost six more centuries since it was revived by the Renaissance humanists shortly after 1400.
		He too was in a position to appreciate the new minuscule, whose special quality of legibility contrasted so favourably with the eccentricities of his native Anglo-Saxon hand.
		Among his other reforms Charlemagne had ordered a new and standard text of the Benedictine Rule, and a revision of the Vulgate and the liturgy; and these revised versions, everywhere in demand, became as it were the apostles and propagators of the new script.

		Half-uncial: a cursive, minuscule bookhand used in Latin manuscripts from the fifth to eighth centuries.
		Insular: a minuscule script used in Latin manuscripts, developed in sixth century in Ireland (from half-uncial) and brought to England by Columba and the Irish ca.
		Caroline minuscule (earliest extant example is from the 770s) spread rapidly to other scriptoria throughout Europe, sweeping away the variety of national scripts, and it is one of the most common scripts in Latin documents in England from the tenth to thirteenth centuries.

	Palaeography
		A minuscule script was written between four ruled lines, rather than two, and is easily recognized by the modern eye as having upper and lower case letters; the lower-case letters have prominent ascenders (on letters such as l, b, d, etc.) and descenders (on p, q, and g, for example).
		The Caroline minuscule script would eventually displace all of the national bookhands except Beneventan.
		Humanist scribes were interested in copying classical ideals, and they mistakenly believed that the Caroline minuscule was the hand used by their Roman ancestors.

	Evolution of the Medieval Book
		The graceful script in this fragment (which was recovered from the binding of a book) is an example of handwriting that was developed during the Carolingian Renaissance.
		It is identified by paleographers as "Caroline minuscule," since it was fostered during the time of Charlemagne (Carolus Magnus in Latin) and because it used letters that were smaller (minus) than the exclusively capital letters employed by the ancient Romans.
		We call these letters "lower case" because printers used to keep the type for minuscule characters in a lower case and the type for capital letters in an upper case.

		The Caroline Minuscule eventually became a standard script for manuscript production in Charlemagne's far-flung territories, making possible the production of manuscripts that were readily comprehensible to a wider audience than previous handwriting practices allowed.
