Abstract

[EN] This paper arises from a broader research on the punctuation of private documents in northern Italy in the 8th and 9th centuries and is focused on the chartae produced in Verona, much different in their script from those originated in other areas of the Regnum Italiae. It shows that the evolution beginning in the 8th century and continuing in the 9th came to completion also as a result of the changes affecting the documentation during the 10th century.The paper provides an analysis of the punctuation marks in relation to the formulary and to the script, showing on the one hand a normalization in the use of punctuation, defined by the requirements of the writing and affecting the gradation of the pause. As the script does not usually leave much space between words or groups of words, the different degrees of the pause are mostly expressed by punctuation marks with a very simple morphology. On the other hand, this paper highlights a progressive standardization in the morphology of punctuation marks as a result of which some pauses, such as separations between the protocol and the text, and between the text and the eschatocol, are almost always expressed by an exclusive sign.
