Preserving script
Teaching Charlemagne
Origin of the script
Restoring purity of form
Answer
Contrary to popular belief, the origin of the script was not a direct result of Alcuin's efforts. While Alcuin played a pivotal role in the Carolingian Renaissance, his contributions were primarily focused on the revival of classical learning, the establishment of palace schools, and the standardization of liturgical practices. The development of the script, often attributed to him, is a misconception.
