Abstract
This chapter briefly surveys the use of the Greek alphabet in Latin manuscripts of the Middle Ages, when it was employed both to write the Greek words which are frequently embedded in the works of Late Latin authors as well as for encryption and decoration. Also touched upon are the most substantial Western examples of Greek manuscripts of the medieval period, including bilingual Greek-Latin Bibles and glossaries. At the end of the fourteenth century, Greek began to be studied more intensively in the West, and from then on Greek manuscripts became more common.
