They are +available from CTAN in the \texttt{fonts/bookhands} directory. The +characters in each font are displayed first, followed by an example +of some text including ligatures. Then some more text is +shown in the font. The first part of the text are sentences containing some +well known English phrases. The second part consists of Latin +sentences. The first two of these are Latin +abecedarian sentences dating from about 790~\textsc{ad}. The last +sentence also dates from around that time. + + As an example, the Computer Modern Roman font would be sampled like this: +\begin{center} +\abc \\ +\punct{} \dashes \\ +\figs + +\ligs\par +\end{center} + +\begin{quotation} +\sentence{} \latin \par +\end{quotation} + + It should be noted that not all the fonts have the complete range of +punctuation marks and ligatures as shown in the CMR example. Punctuation +was virtually non-existant in the first century while by Gutenberg's time +all of our modern punctuation marks were in use. + +\clearpage + +\section{Square Capitals} + + Square Capitals were used from the first century onwards, principally +in the form of capital letters with other hands. + + The font and packages are in the \texttt{sqrcaps} subdirectory. + +\begin{center}

+\clearpage +\section{Half Uncial} + + The Half Uncial font was used between the third and ninth centuries. +Capital letters were only used at the +start of a paragraph and were always partially, or completely, set in the margin. +They were either larger versions of the normal letters, or letters from earlier +fonts. + + The font and packages are in the \texttt{huncial} subdirectory. +

in England. +Capital letters were only used at the start of sentences. +They were either larger versions of the normal letters, or highly decorated +very large letters. + + + The font and packages are

the sixth century onwards. +Capital letters were only used at the start of sentences. +They were either larger versions of the normal letters, or highly decorated +very large letters. + + + The font

8th and 12th centuries, +throughout the Western Christian world. +Capital letters were only used at the start of sentences. +They were either larger versions of the normal letters, or taken from +earlier hands. + + The font and packages are in the \texttt{carolmin} subdirectory. + +\begin{center} +\cminfamily +\abc \\ +\punct{} \dashes \\ +\figs + +\ligs\par +\end{center} + +\begin{quotation}

centuries, as a short lived +intermediary between the Carolingian script and the full-blown Gothic hands. + + + The font and packages are in the \texttt{egothic} subdirectory. + +\begin{center}

+\clearpage +\section{Gothic Textura Quadrata} + + Gothic Textura Quadrata was the principal Gothic hand on the continent between about +the 13th and 15th centuries. Guthenberg based his types on this hand. + + The font and packages are in the \texttt{tgothic} subdirectory. + +\begin{center} +\tgothfamily +\abc \\ +\punct{} \dashes \\ +\figs + +\ligs\par +\end{center} + +\begin{quotation} +\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.3} +\tgothfamily +\sentence{} \latin \par +\end{quotation} + + +\clearpage +\section{Gothic Textura Prescius} + + Gothic Textura Prescius, which is slightly simpler than Quadrata, was used in +England from the 13th century.
