Why documenta with small D?
The word documenta is a proper name. Even if it is a noun, many media and organizers adhere to the lower case. The inventor, Arnold Bode, already said in 1950 that he invented the word.
Lower case was considered modern among intellectuals in the 1950s. Originally, the term probably comes from document. According to Bode, it sounded better with attached A. There is no linguistic rule for the formation of the plural. Arnold Bode spoke to the majority of documents and documenta exhibitions. Each documenta has so far been abbreviated with a small d. The documenta 13 was also referred to as d13. (Marie Klement)
