In Italy in the 14th and 15th centuries, writing once more underwent an important change. The Renaissance study of classical literature brought to light again the Carolingian miniscule in which, following Charlemagne’s decree, the texts had been copied in the 9th to 11th centuries. The Humanists took the Carolingian writing as a model and, believing it to be the style of the ancients, named it Antiqua.
