This book provides a detailed history of Roman cursive writing from its origin to the time of its development into the National hands and the Italian notarial scripts. It sheds light on the various differences between Roman cursive and capital writing, before the beginning of the Common Era. The author has made use of various sources to narrate this history, including the graffiti of Pompeii, wax tablets from the same city, Dacian and Egyptian wax tablets and finally, papyri and ostraka. Several undeciphered Dacian tablets have also been deciphered and translated in this book.
