CAROLINA Alphabet

    
The reform of scripts which spread Caroline minuscule over most of western Europe by the 10th century can perhaps be seen as a reform of legibility at a time when society was becoming increasingly dependent upon the written word.It was no longer enough to have a charter, you had to know what it said. In both continental Europe and Britain the new script was adapted for significant documents, although in Europe exaggerated ascenders and descenders were still employed to add a litle extra flourish to important documents.

now studying at
UCSD, San Diego in California.
We have not her photo.
But this is the photo of her golf trolley.
Good work Caroline !!.
