		This Christian script needed to be different enough to set Christian works apart from pagan works, yet had to be clearly legible to a populace that was used to a pagan script.
		The script which was eventually adopted and standardized, which we call the Carolingian minuscule, is the outcome of a fusion of several distinct national styles, all of which had developed out of the classical Roman and informal cursive styles of earlier centuries.
		The resulting cursive script was adopted by the influential chanceries of Rome and Venice in the middle of the 15th century, thus it became known as the Chancery hand, Chancery Cursive, or Cancellaresca Corsiva.

	Remains of a Medieval Antiphonal - Script
		This characteristically Italian script retains the rotundity of Caroline Minuscule, with the lateral compression of Gothic.
		More concave than rounded, the bottom of that last minim of m remains distinct as a conclusion to the first two flat minims, forming the letter m, while the n and the i are identified by the upward curved stroke and hairline finish, creating final minims for both n and i.
		The outer point of this lobe extends far beyond the top curve of the central stroke; this accentuation resembles other forms of this script but retains an individualized style that may be helpful in identifying its scribal or monastic origin.

	Various Typefaces \| Incunabula - Dawn of Western Printing
		In medieval Europe, different scripts were used in manuscripts depending on the type of books or documents or on when and where the transcription was performed.
		This script became popular in Germany shortly after, and in the period of Gutenberg it was widely used for Bibles, liturgies and other books.
		Until these "Gothic" scripts appeared, the elegant script "Carolingian minuscule," which had been created at the end of the eighth century when Charlemagne, the founder of the Carolingian dynasty, reigned, had spread throughout Europe.

	Minuscule Alphabetic Glyphs
		The scribe's normal letter "a," derived from a textura rotunda form consisting of two vertical strokes and a crossing stroke.
		The leftward stroke may curve to the right as it descends and is usually hooked at the bottom; the rightward stroke has a reversed "s-curve," that is, it begins at approximately mid-letter or slightly right of that at the top, curves right and downward, straightens slightly, then hooks right.
		Minuscule "r" as usually written, like a modern printed small "r," that is, composed of a minim to which is added a short stroke hooking right at minim headline height.

		Before moving the casket to the Rotunda, it was carried to the door of the House of Representatives in a gesture underscoring Ford's quarter century of service there and his devotion to the institution.
		As scripted by Ford and his family before his death, the day was defined by his preference for understatement and his uneasiness with the grand ceremonial gestures that have been embraced by other former presidents.

		Its retention was helped due to the isolation of the Montreianos that settled the area of Montréi by the 17th century.
		Rotunda is notable for its retention of the short and long S, a numeral 2 shaped r which follows round letters, and capitals which contain descenders that drop below the line.
		Montreiano handwriting is based closely on Rotunda, although the trend in the last few decades has been a shift over to a script based upon the humanist script.

	Special Collections -- Occasional Paper No. 9
		The four manuscript leaves are beautiful examples of the craftsmanship of the mediaeval hand-written parchment book, in which decoration and script combine to produce a utilitarian object that is at the same time a visual delight.
		The handwriting, in contrast, is easily legible because it is open and well spaced; the graceful Italian textura rotunda bookhand is hardly different from the Carolingian minuscule of centuries earlier, though this leaf does have some examples of the upright d, introduced by the humanists at the end of the fourteenth century.
		The script used, textura quadrata, was the universal handwriting for books written north of the Alps for several centuries, which makes books written in the hand difficult to localize or date.

		It is written in a very small script, six lines to an inch, in a hand characteristic of Northern France and England at this period.
		The rich fl lettering of this manuscript is in the transitional rotunda script and is executed with skill and beauty.
		While the script of this leaf is almost certainly French, the initial letters and filigree decoration might easily be of Italian workmanship, and the greenish tone of the ink suggests English manufacture.

		The producer usually represents the studio head, the financial man. He is responsible for choosing which script to film, for assigning crew members to the project and financing the film's production and distribution.
		At that moment in the film, the audience feels for a moment that everything is going to work out for Barton now that he has found love, and he now knows that he has finally found the source of guidance and advice that he has been looking for in Hollywood for most of the film.
		In the films the writers do manage to overcome their blocks and complete their scripts, unlike the wise men from the Bible, although neither ending is completely triumphant.

		the term textura is use to describe a quadrata script whose regular angular shapes suggest a 'woven' appearance (from Latin texere 'to weave').
		Steinberg notes that until this time 'the functions of typefounder, printer, publisher, editor and bookseller are little differentiated' (16); and we should recall that in addition to performing these roles Caxton, for example, was also a translator, responsible for about twenty major translations into English.

		Just as for the day commemorated on the verso (Feast of St. Augustine of Hippo, August 28th), the script here is a rounded gothic letter — formal, though not overly so: Functional legibility for singing is apparently the aim, given not only the largeness of the text and its eight
