InScribe Palaeography Learning materials.

* Free online course on Palaeography and Manuscript Studies *

InScribe provides a set of materials suitable both for someone interested in exploring Palaeography for the first time, as well as for those in need of a refresher. Graduate students, academics and members of the general public undertaking this introductory module will become familiar with the most important writing styles (scripts) of the medieval period with particular reference to the English context; they will be able to explore a number of newly digitised manuscripts; and they will acquire some transcription practice.

The module includes short videos with experts on the field discussing relevant topics. Moreover, transcription can be practised in the new Transcription Tool developed in collaboration with King's College London.

Later in the year, we will release new modules that will provide advanced online training on Diplomatic, Script and Translation, Codicology and Illumination. The introductory module is free of charge.
