		Beneventan, the national script of Italy (or more properly, of the Duchy of Benevento, in the south part of Italy), was practiced between the middle of the eighth century until the thirteenth century, though a few very late (16th century) examples have been found in isolated areas.

		They regarded themselves as the heirs of the Visigothic kings who had once ruled all Spain from Toledo, and during the tenth century they began to call themselves emperors; claims and pretensions which sat oddly upon the realities of their puny monarchy.
		Third, the provincial geography of the Visigothic period ran counter to the political facts of the twelfth century.
		This ancient script was on the way out in the twelfth century, though in some areas -- notably Galicia and the Asturias, the strongholds of conservatism -- it was an unconscionable time a-dying.

		Visigothic miniscule is one of the “National Hands” which developed as the largely illiterate Germanic tribes migrated into the Roman Empire in the fourth and fifth centuries.
		These scripts varied widely in their legibility as they represented a fusion of two Roman scripts: New Roman Cursive and Half Uncial.
		Visigothic miniscule survived longer then most of the other national hands in part because of its geographical and political remoteness from the Frankish kingdom; move over the heavy use of Half-Uncial forms made the script more legible then many of its regional counterparts.

		Copied in Carolingian gothic script between 1175 and 1185, the incomplete Cardeña Beatus is the work of two artists; it represents one of the most lavish and artistically elaborate codices of its class.
		Written in Visigothic miniscule and illuminated by “Maius” (according to its colophon), the manuscript seems to have come about as a commission of Abbot Victor of the Monastery of San Miguel de Escalada in Tábara.
		Copied in Carolingian gothic script between 1219 and 1235 on the commission of Fernando III el Santo, this Beato is considered a late example and unique among all Beatus MSS in the way that it combines late Romanesque formulae and elements reminiscent of the illustrative tradition found in early medieval Beatus’s.
