majuscule

Every character had been rendered in uppercase, or, in the terminology of philologists, majuscule.

In the Vatican Library there is a codex of the New Testament, neatly written on parchment in majuscule, parts of which the present writer has collated with the printed text.

If it is desired to retain the V forms the words should be printed in majuscules.

Its brevity equalled its mystery; it consisted but of five words, the first and last in imposing majuscules.

It contained also a number of decorative initial letters, to use the clumsy phrase which the misappropriation of the word capitals to stand for ordinary majuscules, or 'upper case' letters, makes inevitable.
