- This video is an introduction to the paleography of medieval English and Latin documents made between 800-1500 CE. It is meant for students who are new to the study and analysis of handwriting in order to read old texts with accuracy and fluency. The video is narrated by Kathryn Brunet, who recently earned her MLIS degree at UCLA, and interned at the USC Libraries Special Collections in 2020. This video was created from a live Zoom workshop offered on May 17, 2020. Its contents are to be used solely for educational purposes and all resources used are credited at the end of the presentation.
Thank you.I am just moving from early printed books to manuscripts since I retired and this has really got my eye in tune.
There are rules for the long and short S but as with all grammatical rules they change over time so they might come across as inconsistent. Generally speaking, in the 18th century, the reason why a long s is used next to a short s is because that's a rule. In words with a double S you write it as a long S followed by a short S. Long S is also used in the beginning of words. So the word succession would be written as ſucceſsion. The word assistant would be aſsistant.
This is great! Please post more!
WOW. I did think Ottoman scripts were hardest. This exploded my eyes. Thanks for this extremely fun lesson madam! I see myself lucky to discover this video.
Fascinating 😁
I love listening to your voice. Continue to teach!
Cool!
I really enjoyed this workshop VERY much. I'm a beginning, amateur fan of the various forms of gothic script as well as early printing in Latin and German. I unfortunately did not know how to find copies of the documents that you used. I did find the first two via a google search. If some one can tell me where they can be found I would do the course again using them. Many thanks for your hard work. I learned many new things. Erich
