Each script is introduced with a brief history and several facsimiles of real examples with accompanying transcriptions before a full page diagram on how the letters are formed followed by relevant technical notes. Before the treatment of the scripts themselves there is a more general introduction on the historical development of scripts, full of anecdote, though some holes can be picked in the historical narrative (though this is not relevant to scripts per se).The scripts covered are:Roman Rustic - 1st-6th centuryUncial - 3rd-6th centuryArtificial Uncial 6th-10th centuryRoman Half-Uncial 3rd-9th centuryInsular Majuscule 6th-9th centuryInsular Minuscule 6th century onwardsLuxeuil Minuscule 7th-8th centuryCarolingian Minuscule 8th-12th centuryEarly Gothic 11th-12thGothic Textura Quadrata 13th-15th centuryGothic Textura Prescisus 13th century onwardsGothic Littera Bastarda 13th century onwardsA good further resource is  An Introduction to Greek and Latin Palaeography . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mediaeval Calligraphy - Its History and Technique by Marc Drogin 1980 *by F***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 April 2013* This is another Dover Publication, but not altogether typical of the genre. It covers numerals, layout and materials, sources - with a useful listing of references, materials and resources, facsimile sources, supplies, etc. For those with talent, the examples shown are 'manageable'; for myself with no artistic training or talent they are reproduced in a size compatible with tracing onto a greetings card. Apart from the history of the original works, there is an exhaustive 'how to' in respect of free-hand lettering which includes 'lifting off' and hand pressure when creating, which - even in my case ought to repay careful study. I am pleased with this book which goes much further than many I possess and will, I have little doubt, repay more careful study rather I usually afford such books. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best calligraphy book I’ve read *by J***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 June 2019* This book is amazing. It really brings the subject to life and helps you understand things you didn’t understand before. Streets ahead of any other calligraphy book I’ve read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/62759866-medieval-calligraphy-its-history-and-technique-lettering-calligraphy-typography](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/62759866-medieval-calligraphy-its-history-and-technique-lettering-calligraphy-typography) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
