Through an introduction to paleography, the study of handwritings, it prepares students for advanced work in these fields. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this course examines the historical and cultural settings for texts, their physical form and production, as well as the tradition of textual transmission in the medieval and early modern world. In addition to gaining familiarity with many different types of primary sources, such as literary, artistic, legal, and notarial sources, students will be exposed to methods for archival work in various European nations.
