The Development Of Alphabet- 5th Century BC to 200 AD

In the 5th century BC, an inscription in the form of a stele (inscribed column) is created in northwest Arabia, in Tema. This system eventually evolves one thousand years later as Arabic script. The Nabataeans, a Semitic language speaking people, developed this script in the 1st century BC to document and record their prosperity on caravan treks. In the 7th century AD, it became necessary to accurately record the words of God for the Qur’an in Arabic. This becomes another world standard through the religious dispersion of Islam.

Handwriting Becomes Print

20th century letters and handwriting styles derive from the last centuries of the Roman Empire. In 100 AD, members of the Roman battalion inscribed Latin messages on Hadrian's Wall.

History Of Script - 15th Century and Beyond

In the 14th and 15th century, Italian scholars following Petrarch's admiration for classical culture, adopt what they believe is a Roman style for their new, original script. In searching through ancient texts they discover the elegant Carolingian manuscripts, from Charlemagne's monastic workshops and adapt this paragon for their texts. The secretary of the papal court of Rome, Poggio Bracciolini, uses lowercase letters evident in Carolingian script and adds capital letters in straight-edged design, imitating Roman script used on monuments. Niccolo Niccoli speeds up the writing process by angling the pen at a more relaxed angle, thereby sloping the letters and permitting them to join together. Joining together of letters, also called 'cursive' hand-writing, is a medieval invention, as seen in manuscripts from the Middle Ages.

The History Of Writing Implements

The history of writing implements begins with the cave man scribbling pictorial images depicting daily rituals of hunting or planting crops into the walls, creating cave paintings seen in places such as Lascaux dating back to 25,000 BC. Record keeping advanced with the advent of symbols that were recognized as having meaning. Clay made communication portable and in 8,500 BC, the first merchants employed clay tokens with pictographs to keep track of what was shipped and traded. Pictographs gave way to representational figures, becoming the first alphabet in 1700 BC in Sinai. Hebrew and Aramaic alphabets originated in 600 BC. The Greek alphabet, the first alphabet to be written left to right was created in 400 BC. These writing systems began in all uppercase letters and as writing instruments became refined, lowercase letters appeared in 600 AD by the Celtic monks.
