Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book documents the evolution of Greek and Latin writing and the art of palaeography, the study of ancient and historical handwriting. One of the first systems of writing developed in ancient Greece, derived from a Phoenician alphabet, c. 9th century BC. The spread of Greek writing influenced the alphabets of other languages, including Etruscan, Umbrian, and Oscan, which were the ancestors of the modern Latin alphabet. Archaic forms eventually yielded to standardized scripts used across regions, with regional variations gradually disappearing and giving rise to a common Greek script. Local forms of Greek gradually evolved as well, with distinct characteristics emerging in different regions. The book meticulously traces the evolution of Greek handwriting from its humble origins to the development of minuscule scripts in the Byzantine era, and explores the complexities of Roman cursive scripts and their influence on the development of national minuscule hands in the Middle Ages. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781440060106_0
