NativLang | Byzantine Greek minuscule script - basic ligatures @NativLang | Uploaded 13 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
In the old Greek cursive hand of the Middle Ages, letters join to form ligatures. Here are the types of regular ligatures you will find in medieval & early modern manuscripts:
- two letters join with a horizontal stroke
- two letters join with a vertical stroke
- two letters join with a diagonal stroke
- the two letters abut each other
Other videos in this series teach the Medieval Greek minuscule alphabet, diacritics and irregular ligatures.
