The number of letters in the English alphabet varied in medieval times, but it was generally around 24 letters:
Old English Latin alphabet: Used from the 8th to 12th centuries, this alphabet had about 24 letters. Most of the letters came from the Latin alphabet, but two were modified Latin letters (Æ, Ð), and two came from the runic alphabet (Ƿ, Þ). The letters Q and Z were rarely used, and the letter J was not yet in use.

Intricate calligraphy and decoration adorn an ornate historical document, featuring vibrant colors and elaborate patterns. Various symbols and decorative elements, such as dragons and floral designs, embellish the margins and headings.
