Linea 87:
:::::::::::Marvellous. I had never seen one in many years of glancing at old Greek texts, but evidently, at the latest, a true uppercase version of the st ligature was created for the Abbé Migne. What a great man! I happily withdraw the suggestion that it was a Unicode invention :)
:::::::::::[Later:] I've added this to the page. If you ever come across an earlier unambiguously uppercase version of the st ligature, let's note it! But my observations have been in general the same as yours, that printers did not have it. Your interpretation (poorly-outfitted typography) is too Platonic for me. I would say rather that the outfit was perfect, and an uppercase ligature was not invented because it had no reason to exist: in uppercase Greek one did not use ligatures. By Migne's time things looked different, because ligatures even in lowercase text were no longer used, and the numeral system stood on its own. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 10:20, 17 Februarii 2010 (UTC)
::::::::::::Re: 'in uppercase Greek one did not use ligatures'. How then did they write the Greek numeral 6 in uppercase Greek? Was it dissolved into sigma-tau even in medieval times, or is that a modern invention? For, to be sure, 'stigma' as a numeral did not derive from the ligature of sigma and tau, but from the obsolete letter 'digamma' which later converged with 'stigma', and therefore one might well argue that as a ''numeral'' 'stigma' cannot be dissolved into 'sigma' and 'tau'. --[[Usor:Fabullus|Fabullus]] 11:08, 17 Februarii 2010 (UTC)
:::::::For the letter J (for which Jot is the German name) I have preferred an image giving both uppercase and lowercase forms.
:::::::The various incarnations of [[Eta]] are dealt with at that page, but the image you supply will be more use when we have the [[Spiritus asper]] page.
