C. F. BRAGDON] Before, during and after the Renaissance movement many local and extraneousinfluences temporarily modified the forms of the Roman letters. There are, for instance, numerous examples of lettering in which Byzantine andRomanesque traits are strongly apparent, such as the free manipulation ofthe letter forms in order to make them fit into given lines and spaces. Thedrawing of the panel over the doorway of the Badia, Florence, 42, notablefor the characteristic placing and composition... of the letters, will serveas a case in point. This example is further interesting because it showshow the Uncial form of the letter was beginning to react and find a use instone--a state of affairs which at first glance might seem anomalous, forthe Uncial letter was distinctly a pen-drawn form; but it was discoveredthat its rounder forms made it particularly useful for inscribing stoneswhich were likely to chip or sliver, in carving which it was consequentlydesirable to avoid too acute angles. The Roman letter underwent varioussalient modifications [46] at the hands of the scribes of extra-Italiannations.
