Origin of Punctuation.

Punctuation by means OF stops and
points. SO as to indicate the meaning
OF sentences and assist the reader to
a proper enunciation, is ascribed orig
inally 10 Aristophanes, grammarian
of Alexandria, Egypt, who lived in the
third century b. c. Whatever his sys-
TEN may have been, II was subse-
quently neglected and forgotten. but
was reintroduced by Charlemagne, the
various stops and symbols being de-
signed by Warnfried and Alcuin.
The present system OF punctuation
was introduced in the latter part OF
the fifteenth century by Aldus Manu-
thus, a Venetian printer, who was re-
sponslble for our full stop. colon, semi
colon, comma, marks of interrogation
and exclamation, parenthesis and
dash, hyphen, apostrophe and quota
ton marks. These were subsequently,
copied by other printers, until their
use became universal.
Most ancient languages were inno-
cent OF any system OF punctuation. In
many early manuscripts the letters are
placed at equal distances apart, with
no connecting link between, even I'm
the matter of spacing an arrangement
which must have rendered reading at
sight somewhat difficult.
