Europ, also referred to as Eu, Ew or U, is a symbol used in Old English and Middle English manuscripts as an abbreviation for "etc." or "and so on." It is derived from the Latin word "et," meaning "and," and the abbreviation "c.," which stands for "circa" or "about." The use of "europ" became prevalent during the Middle Ages, particularly in monastic texts and legal documents.
The symbol "europ" typically appears at the end of a list to indicate that there are more items of a similar nature that follow, allowing the writer to avoid exhaustively enumerating every single item. It is primarily used to convey the concept of continuation, implying that the list could extend indefinitely with similar elements unspecifed.
Often written as a ligature, "europ" resembles a lowercase "e" with a horizontal stroke intersecting the middle of the letter. It is commonly found above the baseline, and sometimes slightly tilted to the right. The form of "europ" can vary depending on the specific manuscript or handwriting style.
Although less commonly used nowadays, "europ" remains an important historical symbol in the study of medieval texts and writings. Its presence signifies the medieval scribes' desire for brevity and conciseness while maintaining the coherence of the list.
