    Описание: 
    The ancient Greek alphabet evolved during the millenium of the Byzantine era
    from majuscule to minuscule form and gradually incorporated a wide array of
    ligatures, flourishes and other decorative nuances which defined its
    extravagant cursive character. Until the late 15th century, typographers who
    had to deal with Greek text avoided emulating this complicated hand; instead
    they would use only the twenty four letters of the alphabet separately, often
    without accents and other diacritics.
    
    A celebrated example is the type cut and cast for the typesetting of the New
    Testament in the so-called Complutensian Polyglot Bible (1512), edited by the
    Greek scholar, Demetrios Doukas. The type was cut by Arnaldo GuillA.n de Brocar
    and the whole edition was a commision by cardinal Francisco XimA.nez, in the
    University of AlcalA. (Complutum), Spain. It is one of the best and most
    representative models of this early tradition in Greek typography which was
    revived in the early 20th century by the eminent bibliographer of the British
    Library, Richard Proctor. A font named Otter Greek was cut in 1903 and a book
    was printed using the new type. The original type had no capitals so Proctor
    added his own, which were rather large and ill-fitted. The early death of
    Proctor, the big size of the font and the different aesthetic notions of the
    time were the reasons that Otter Greek was destined to oblivion, as a
    curiosity.
    
    Greek Font Society incorporated Brocar's famous and distinctive type in the
    commemorative edition of Pindar's Odes for the Athens Olympics (2004) and the
    type with a new set of capitals, revived digitaly by George D. Matthiopoulos,
    is now available for general use.
