Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1936, this book is intended to supplement W. M. Lindsay's Notae Latinae of 1915, which examined Latin abbreviations of the early minuscule period (circa 700-850 AD). Bains reviews symbols employed in the following two centuries, as well as a few which were developed more fully as a result of the rise of learning and science in the twelfth century. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in palaeography.
