	Palaeography - LoveToKnow 1911
		The scope of this article is to trace the history of Greek and Latin palaeography from the earliest written documents in those languages which have survived.
		The field of Latin palaeography is much wider, for the Roman alphabet has made its way into every country of western Europe, and the study of its various developments and changes is essential for a proper understanding of the character which we write.
		Their survival is a particularly interesting fact in the history of Greek palaeography, for in them we have specimens of literary rolls which may be fairly assumed to differ very little in appearance from the manuscripts contemporary with the great classical authors of Greece.

	An Essay on Paleography by Julian Brown
		Palaeography means, in the strict sense, the study of ancient handwriting, and its basic objects are these: first, to read ancient texts with accuracy; secondly, to date and localize their handwriting.
		It is to the palaeography of Western Europe in the wider sense that this paper is intended as an introduction; but the handwriting of documents--a subject which the handbooks of diplomatic generally leave to palaeography--will be included in the account of Latin and vernacular handwriting on pp.
		The textual critic uses palaeography for two main purposes: first, to read his manuscripts correctly; and secondly, during the process of recension and reconstruction, to date and localize them as a means of discovering which of them are likely to have been copied from others that survive.

		Indeed, even the pioneer volumes on palaeography of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries bore accurate imitative drawings (see Petrucci 1984), while the treatises of the early nineteenth century featured hand-engraved facsimiles.
		Previous work in art history (Klange Addabbo 1987) and palaeography (in particular Garrison 1984, and Berg 1968) have not been able to identify a single scriptorium as the common source for this varied group of codices.

	About CDP - cuneiform palaeography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		There is often a distinction made between palaeography (referring to handwriting on soft surfaces, typically in books using ink but applying equally well to impressing cuneiform into clay) and epigraphy (referring to the study of script inscribed on hard surfaces).
		Among the main concerns of palaeography are the correct identification of the individual characters in ancient scripts, the assigning of dates (and localisations) to undated manuscripts, and the identification of individual handwritings.
		Palaeography is sometimes understood to include investigation into manuscripts themselves, although this could more properly be referred to as codicology.

	Palaeography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Palaeography is in many ways a prerequisite for philology, and it encounters two main difficulties: firstly, since the style of a single alphabet has changed constantly (Carolingian minuscule, Gothic, etc.), it is necessary to know how to decipher the characters that constitute a manuscript.
		Secondly, these manuscripts carry by necessity many abbreviations for the purpose of saving space — since each page was made from the skin of one sheep, one had to have a sizable flock just to produce a Bible, even an abridged one.
		After World War II it was taught as alternative script in schools only in some areas until the 1970s; it is no longer being taught.
