7. Palaeography

Will Kemp

  1. General introductions include
    Bob Peckham's list, orginally posted on medtext-l, of Paleography and manuscript sites and
    the University of Pennsylvania's Texts, Manuscripts, and Palaeography page.

  2. The Stanford University Library offers a site specifically for mediaeval palaeography, which links to a variety of resources, Palaeography and Diplomatics.

  3. The National Archives in the UK are offering an in-depth on-line tutorial in palaeography. Another site that may be helpful for those trying to learn mediaeval palaeography is Medieval Writing, which includes exercises for the student.

  4. A site offering learning aids for both mediaeval and early modern palaeography is the Introduction to Palaeography website presented by Dave Postles, University of Leicester, the REED editor for Nottinghamshire.

  5. A new English site, Palaeography--Developing the National Resource focusses on specifically English documents and includes links to research sites.

  6. Manuscript images are becoming more available on the Web. See for instance, the list of images available on the Bodleian Library's website, the Scriptorium, or the Digital Scriptorium. Of general REED, as well as MSS, interest is the DScriptorium, which includes MSS pages and miniatures from the Jeu de Robin et Marion and the Mystere dou jour dou jugement.
