The scripts, Wisigothic and Maghribi, may have been written by the same hand. An hypothesis about the birth of the Maghribi script, especially its pen, under the influence of Western scribal traditions is made.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
