The Pook old hand Registered: 02/20/08 Posts: 1067 Loc: Tasmania	Originally Posted By: tsuwm uncial - relating to or written in majuscule letters -joe (def'ns for all occasions) friday I think you are both right. Miniscule as a description of the kind of LETTERS used is the opposite of majuscule. Manuscripts written in miniscules are called miniscules. But manuscripts written in majuscule letters are called Uncial manuscripts, which term has fed back to refer to the letters themselves. So the opposite of an uncial manuscript (such as the biblical Codex Sinaiticus or codex Alexandrinus) is a miniscule manuscript (such as 1739 or p46).

Small offense, but punitive measures will be taken. Peter
