The course includes visits to manuscript holding libraries and archives.
- The palaeography seminars provide practical training in Latin and Greek palaeography at an intermediate level, focusing on transcribing various scripts across broad chronological and geographic areas and dealing with issues such as recognition of script and dating of hand. Seminars will run in two parallel options: Latin book hand and diplomatic hand and Greek book hand and diplomatic hand.
