Greek Minuscule

Greek Minuscule refers to a style of Greek handwriting developed around the 9th century, characterized by its small, cursive, and complex letterforms. It replaced earlier, more angular scripts and allowed for faster writing, making manuscripts more compact and easier to produce. Minuscule script is important historically because it facilitated the preservation and dissemination of Greek texts during the medieval period. Its development marked a transition from earlier scripts, influencing the way Greek literature, scholarly works, and religious texts were copied and studied.
