Writing the Greek Alphabet (Part 4: Byzantine Minuscule)

How to write the Ancient Greek alphabet. Part 4 of this series teaches you to write in the Byzantine minuscule hand. This version of lowercase Greek handwriting became increasingly prominent in the Middle Ages. Stylized forms emerged with many ligatures. Notice how several letter forms differ markedly from their standard upper and lowercase counterparts (see Parts 1 & 2).
