 he Middle Ages
was a time when the art of writing really came into its own. The demands of church and
government administration as well as the birth of popular literature created a huge demand
for written documents. Decorative manuscripts began to become popular with a wider
audience, courts and governments required more and more record keeping, and troubador ballads and the writings of authors like Chaucer and Boccaccio
created a market for literature among the growing middle lcass. All of this required new and better forms of writing, styles which were readable, consistent,
efficient to produce, and sometimes decorative as well.
