Space Between Words: The Origins of Silent Reading - Paul ...

The separation of words (and thus silent reading) originated in manuscripts copied by Irish scribes in the seventh and eighth centuries but spread to the European continent only in the late tenth century when scholars first attempted to master a newly recovered corpus of technical, philosophical, and scientific classical texts.
Sentence spacing came later, with the advent of typesetting. The debate on one or two spaces was mooted by CSS proportional line spacing (with justified text).
