Carolingian minuscule is a
font or
script developed as a writing standard in
Europe so that the
roman alphabet could be easily recognized by all. It was used in the
Charlemagne Empire between approximately
900 and
1200. Scrolls,
Christian texts, and educational material were written in Carolingian minuscule throughout the
Renaissance. The script went out of fashion when the
Gothic era came about, and became obsolete, though it forms the basis for more recent scripts.
The Freising manuscripts, the first Roman-script record of any Slavic language, which contain the oldest Slovene language are written in Carolingian minuscule.
