Abstract
This article examines the palaeographic features of Latin lapidary inscriptions from Southern Istria dating from 1400 to 1900. By analysing a corpus of 239 inscriptions, it traces the shift from Gothic majuscule to Renaissance capitalis. It uses graphical presentations and statistical tests to identify subsequent changes around 1650 and 1800, marking the beginning and end of the Baroque period.
