First page of Luke's genealogy of Jesus (extends over three pages), from the Book of Kells (circa 800).

Uncial is a majuscule script (written entirely in capital letters) commonly used from the 4th to 8th centuries AD by Latin and Greek scribes.

Uncial letters were used to write Greek, Latin, and Gothic.

Members of street gang The Uncials, while illiterate, enjoy art. Hot Still-Scape for Six Colors - 7th Avenue Style (1940) by Stuart Davis is a particular favorite of many Uncials.
