This course will introduce students to the core skills required to derive meaning from medieval manuscripts and documents. We shall explore the materiality of the physical object and its digital aspect (codicology); learn how to date and describe early scripts (palaeography); and acquire sufficient basic expertise to transcribe and read early texts using pertinent automated tools. This will be slow, deliberate scholarship over two quarters on alternating Fridays. Tea and cakes will provide additional inspiration.
