Abstract	Indisputably, Caroline minuscule script was one of the greatest and longest-lasting achievements of the Carolingian project. It far out-lasted the architects of that project, ensuring a long afterlife of their priorities and influences, even once it was detached from the legacy of a relatively short-lived political entity, the Carolingian empire. This panel focuses on aspects of the usage, reception, dissemination and historiography of this important script. In particular, it explores the influence of notions of 'reform' and 'Renaissance', the practice of scribal memory, the relationship of Caroline minuscule to other scripts, practices of cataloguing (medieval and modern), digitisation and terminology.
