The ScripTS

‘Insular’ means ‘of the islands’, namely the sharing of skills between monasteries in Ireland and Britain. The pattern and texture of this script on the page, with its generous interline spacing, is very attractive and lends itself well to modernisation.

new

The Insular Minuscule is from a group of Anglo-Saxon scripts that developed alongside the formal writing of the day. It also appears in manuscripts such as the Lindisfarne Gospels (A.D. 698, British Library, London) as a ‘gloss’. A gloss is usually comments or translations which were written between lines of text at a later date.

The exemplar on these pages is based on Bede’s Commentary on the Book of Proverbs (Bodleian Library, Oxford) written in northeast England in the mid- to late eighth century. The actual size of the letters in the manuscript is about 3mm (1⁄8in) high.

A pattern is created by the script’s long, pointed ascenders and descenders, which also occur on ‘s’ and ‘r’, the narrow form of the other letters and the characteristic wedge serifs. Despite some pen manipulation, this is a fairly quickly written script. Insular Minuscule can be used to effect when contrasted with Natural Uncial (see pages 54–61). The archaic forms of ‘s’, ‘g’ and ‘r’ can be modernised and the open top of ‘a’ closed if desired, but this will lose some of the personality of the script.

of the archaic characteristics to

made by going onto the righthand corner of the nib and exerting pressure. The descender of ‘g’ is not quite as long as the pointed descenders.
