Summary
Research on the Abbey of St. Gall reveals that over 700 early medieval charters, dating from before 983, feature distinct subscription signs integrated into the scribe's line. These signs exhibit varied forms and show a clear evolutionary pattern from the 8th to the 10th centuries. The study provides an initial comprehensive documentation of these subscription signs, offering insights into their development and use in private charters during this period.
