Beschreibung
Palaeography, also spelt paleography, pa¿a¿¿¿ palaiós, "old" and ¿¿¿fe¿¿ graphein, "to write") is the study of ancient handwriting and the practice of deciphering and reading historical manuscripts. Palaeography can be an essential skill for historians and philologists, as it tackles two main difficulties. First, since the style of a single alphabet in each given language has evolved constantly, it is necessary to know how to decipher its individual characters as they existed in various eras. Second, scribes often used many abbreviations, usually so as to write more quickly and sometimes to save space, so the specialist-palaeographer must know how to interpret them. Knowledge of individual letter-forms, ligatures, punctuation, and abbreviations enables the palaeographer to read and understand the text. von Surhone, Lambert M.
