An Introduction to Greek and Latin Palaeography

Edward Maunde Thompson

This profusely-illustrated work traces the history of the handwriting of Western Europe from the earliest times to the seventeenth century. All the sample texts, in Greek, Latin and vernacular languages, are provided with transcriptions. In this revised edition, we have digitally enhanced the original illustrations wherever possible, and the text has been reset for greater readability.
