Of, pertaining to, or designating, a certain style of
letters used in ancient manuscripts, esp. in Greek and Latin
manuscripts. The letters are somewhat rounded, and the upstrokes and
downstrokes usually have a slight inclination. These letters were used
as early as the 1st century b. c., and were seldom used after the 10th
century a. d., being superseded by the cursive style.
