There's probably a very good reason for this link in the first paragraph, but as it stands, it is confusing, especially since "Byzantine" is a redirect to Byzantine Empire. Can someone please clarify the link and fix it to something more appropriate? -- Sam 12:44, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)

message: : " Uncial is a majuscule script "
It is obviouly not in every case. I translated this article into Swedish and changed things around a bit. According to one of my Swedish sources uncial is using a "universalalfabet", meaning an alphabet that makes no distinction between majuscle and miniscule characters. With my shortcomings in the English language I'm to shy to edit your article myself, but I do think someone should.

thread_title:  Majuscule? 

message: I argue with the article's depiction of Insular Majuscule being called Insular because it was used in the British Isles.  Indeed it was used on the islands of Ireland. Developed there after St Patrick, most likely, brough Uncial to the Irish.  It developed in Ireland on its own.  Long before Great Brittain was great.  It did eventually migrate over to the British Isle though.Dave 20:44, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Insular 

message: As the description correctly states the image shows an example of insular majuscule, but the description mistakes the filing of this script as a variant of uncial writing as the insular scripts base on halfuncial forms. I don't have a better image at hand, but recommend to replace it. GVogeler 17:33, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Under the 'Forms' section, there are two Unicode symbols use that do not display for me (Chrome 52, Win10, standard fonts), and on lookup they are 
* "⟨m⟩ is formed with curved strokes ⟨⟩" '(U+F218)'
* "hasta does not connect with the top curve ⟨⟩" '(U+F225)'
Both symbols are from Unicode's "private use" block. What symbols was the original editor intending to use here, and with what font were they being displayed? Does anyone else get them to show? Once we verify what we are we can either find a substitute in the standard Unicode blocks or use existing svg/png renderings. If we don't get a response in a week or two, we should get rid of the symbols from the page. SamuelRiv (talk) 03:01, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Etymology and pronunciation 

message: According to , the Greek uncial hand already emerged in the 3rd century BC – presumably it influenced the development of an uncial hand in Latin too. For example, the Bankes Homer manuscript, from the 2nd century AD, is clearly in an uncial hand resembling very much that of the early New Testament uncial codices. It's odd that this is not mentioned here, but I've also got trouble finding authoritative sources on the subject online. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 19:06, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
