Clerical Script is a style of handwriting that emerged in the early Middle Ages, primarily used by scribes in Europe. It was developed from earlier scripts and was characterized by its clear, legible letters, making it suitable for official documents and records. This script was often used in monasteries and by clerks in administrative roles. The Clerical Script played a significant role in the preservation and transmission of knowledge during the medieval period. Its structured form allowed for efficient copying of texts, including religious manuscripts and legal documents, contributing to the standardization of written language in various regions.
