		Uncial hands were a style of writing used during the late Roman Empire, from ca.
		The sub-style of Uncial that seems to have taken hold in Ireland is known as Half-Uncial (it had a rather unique G).
		Uncial typefaces on the other hand, are (mostly) intended for display settings, and may or may not have anything to do with Ireland or Irish typesetting requirements.

	Uncial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Uncial is a majuscule script commonly used from the 3rd to 8th centuries AD by Latin and Greek scribes.
		In later uncial scripts, the letters are sometimes drawn haphazardly; for example, double-l runs together at the baseline, bows (for example in b, p, r) do not entirely curve in to touch their stems, and the script is generally not written as cleanly as previously.
		French (that is, Merovingian) uncial uses thin descenders (in g, p, etc), an x with lines that cross higher than the middle, and a d with a curled stem (somewhat resembling an apple), and there are many decorations of fish, trees, and birds.

	Uncial
		Uncial is a majuscule script commonly used from the 3rd to 8th centuries CE by Latin and Greek scribes.
		In the oldest examples of uncial, all of the letters are disconnected from one another, and word breaks are typically not used.
		Modern calligraphy usually teach a form of evolved Latin based uncial hand that would probably be best compared to the later, 7th to 10th century examples, though admittedly, the variations in Latin uncial are much wider and less rigid than Greek.

	Talk:Uncial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to one of my Swedish sources uncial is using a "universalalfabet", meaning an alphabet that makes no distinction between majuscle and miniscule characters.
		Uncial is a Majuscule script in it's purest form.
		The term "insular half uncial" in itself seem to agree with this along with its softened-up version (d, h, q, p etc being minuscles) of the "classical majuscule script" uncial is generally regarded to be.

	EyeWire: Magazine: Columns: Robin Williams: What the Heck's an Uncial? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Uncial (pronounced un:shel) is a term applied to a particular calligraphic style based on ancient lettering, and is often considered the most expressive calligraphy.
		Apart from their use in the manuscripts of the late Roman Empire and throughout the early Middle Ages, uncials were mostly used in the later centuries only for initials in books.
		Because of the strong Celtic use of uncials in the early centuries, as well as its general predominance in the Middle Ages, this type style has become a favorite of those with Celtic or medieval interests.

	Uncial Script
		Recall that this manuscript, written in very small, neat uncials, was retraced by a later scribe, resulting in some minor changes in the letterforms and in a much coarser appearance.
		Even so, it illustrates well the increasing complexity which by this time was affecting the uncial style -- a complexity which is found in most manuscripts of this era, and which reached its height in the "Slavic" style seen, e.g., in S/028.
		Nonetheless it is clear that the Greek alphabet is originally a written (as opposed to a carved or inscribed) alphabet.
