When was cursive invented?
I already googled this, two different names were mentioned and 2 different dates were mentioned. The reason was very vague such as he wanted to create more cursive letters (not really an answer at all), checked with wikipedia too same info. Does anyone have any real information about when cursive was invented, who invented it, and was there a reason cursive was necessary or is it just artistic printing?

I don't know anything about the origin of cursive other than I feel confident to submit it was derived to accelerate the communication process as the nib of the writing utensil leaves the surface more frequently during the printed form.
