A | Autumn Term 2021-22 to Spring Term 2021-22 |
A course to enable students to transcribe, fully, manuscripts and documents of their chosen period, and to understand when, how and why such texts were produced. Students should then be able to use texts in their own work with confidence and be able to edit where necessary.
1. 1. Autumn term, wks 1-5, a briefing (wk 1) followed by four lectures (wks 2-5). Lectures with practical work, to introduce scripts from pre-Caroline reforms (6-7c) to the beginnings of Secretary (up to 16c).
2. Autumn term, wks 6-9, and Spring term, wks 2-9; 12 x 2 hrs. Three seminar groups will be offered, from which students will choose one (typical offering: Early Medieval Palaeography c. 500-1000; Administrative Hands from the Conquest to the Later Middle Ages; Later Medieval Book Hands). These seminars will be detailed and practical; and students will be tested at the end, in summer term, by transcription exercises, possibly also (as appropriate) by comprehension/use questions.
