This article traces the origins and spread of minuscule script. As a style that allowed writing materials to require less space, this graphic form served a practical function, but in understanding the range of variant styles that arose and that were in use, aesthetics must also be taken into consideration. The effect of the invention of the printing press is discussed as well.
