		The paleographer studies such things as the angles of strokes, density of ink and its composition, and the general style as compared with other handwriting.
		Such study enables the scholar to detect different handwriting which in some cases may mean a different person has taken over the task of copying or in other cases it represents the work of a corrector of the text.
		Other aspects of paleography include the material which was used for writing, the format of those texts, and also the work of those who copied texts preserving the knowledge of antiquity for the sake of posterity.

	Roger Martin du Gard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roger Martin du Gard ( March 23, 1881 - August 22, 1958) was a French author and winner of the 1937 Nobel Prize for Literature.
		Trained as a paleographer and archivist, Martin du Gard brought to his works a spirit of objectivity and a scrupulous regard for details.
		For his concern with documentation and with the relationship of social reality to individual development, he has been linked with the realist and naturalist traditions of the 19th century.

	CRACKS APPEAR IN JAMES BONE BOX (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		It reads, "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus." Noted paleographer Ada Yardeni and Rochelle Altman both have concluded that the crucial last phrase of the inscription is a "poorly executed fake" that was added later.
		Respected Sorbonne University paleographer Andre Lemaire was the first expert to examine the box and declared it authentic, including the inscription.
		Tests have since shown that an organic build-up on the surface of the stone casket is uniform throughout, including on all the engraved letters, providing the best evidence to date that the words "brother of Jesus" are from the same time period.

		The May/June BAR summarized Harvard paleographer Frank Cross’s conclusion that the inscription was a “demonstrable forgery.” In that same issue, Tel Aviv University Bible professor Edward Greenstein analyzed the Jehoash inscription from a linguistic viewpoint, and he too concluded that it was a clear forgery.
		Because both inscriptions came from an unprovenanced source and because of “the emotions raised by the finds and extensive public interest amongst Jews and Christians,”; as the IAA put it, two committees of experts were appointed to study the inscriptions and report on their authenticity.
		From the paleographic aspect, it appears that the inscription was written by someone not living in the First Temple times, but who wrote according to samples from that period.

		It is really up to the paleographer if you pass or not.
		When you are asked a question the machine records your response and it is compared by the pattern over all.
		The paleographer can choose to read the pattern at any point so there is only really one way to pass no matter if you lie or tell the truth.

		The BAR article was written by one of the world's leading paleographers, Andre Lemaire of the Sorbonne in Paris.
		Paleographers can date the letters and also tell if an inscription is a forgery, for in an authentic inscription the shape of all the letters will date to the same time period.
		Harvard's Frank Cross, perhaps the world's most distinguished Semitic paleographer, said, "If this is a forgery, the forger was a genius." (Along the same line, leading Jerusalem archaeologist and paleographer Gaby Barkay is quoted in a recent news report as saying, "If its a fake, it's a fantastically executed piece.")

	BYZANTIUM: Byzantine Paleography
		Rather the goal here is to present basic discussions, images, and a few useful tools to those who are interested in how we come to gain knowledge about the past, and to those just starting out with work on manuscripts.
		Then the eye acquires a familiarity with the character of the writing and its sublet changes, and the paleographer develops a kind of instinct for the exercise of his judgment and for the conclusions at which he arrives.
		It is also interesting as one of a group of papyri illustrating the continuance of the official use of Greek in Egypt for the better part of a century after the date of the Arab conquest of the country.

		The Israel Antiquities Authority, which found the James ossuary inscription to be a forgery, failed to show it to Israel’s greatest script expert and ask his opinion on whether the inscription is a forgery.
		Until now, no experienced paleographer (someone who has published an inscription from this period) has pointed to any paleographical infirmity in the inscription, any reason in the script even to be suspicious of the inscription, let alone to declare it a forgery.
		On the contrary, a number of paleographical experts are convinced it is authentic.

		Also of interest to Classicists and to Medievalists interested in the reception of the Classics is Chatelain's Paleographie des classiques latins, where a facsimile is published of the major MSS then known of Classical authors: the basis of selection, then, was the interest of the text, rather than paleographical importance.
		The main bases for dating Late Antique Uncial MSS was given by Lowe and Rand (item 2 under MAJUSCULES), and the main classifications of Insular Script were outlined by Julian Brown, with David Dumville sometimes dissenting.
		These writings are well worth reading to see the methods used by the Paleographer.

	INTRODUCTION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Nevertheless, this is not enough: of a paleographer a broader outlook is required, an outlook extended towards researching the causes that explain the genesis and the advancement of the different styles of scripts.
		The paleographer should also research on how single manuscripts have been conserved and transmitted to us.
		Consequently, Paleography could be useful in many scientific fields, but particularly in those disciplines that use written sources, in the first place those based on historical research, as in the history of Literature, Civil and Cannon Law, and particularly, History in a broader sense of the word.

	Walter Benjamin, Commentary vs. Critique (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		One may liken him to a paleographer in front of a parchment whose faded text is covered by the stronger outlines of a script referring to that text.
		Just as the paleographer would have to start with reading the script, the critic must start with commenting on his text.
		And out of this, activity there arises immediately an inestimable criterion of critical judgment: only now can the critic ask the basic question of all criticism — namely, whether the work's shining truth content is due to its subject matter or whether the survival of the subject matter is due to the truth content.

		Carter apparently was "a calligraphic or paleographic expert".

		However that may be, I've heard of very few cases where a professional paleographer actually studied the VMs.

		The collection of codices, assembled over the course of a century and a half by both lay collectors and scholar-bibliographers, "has its fair share of beautiful books, both liturgical and secular.
		However, it also has a wide variety of visually modest books collected for their textual, paleographical, and codicological interest.
		It is this special mixture which makes the Newberry collection a rare pedagogical tool for the art historian, the editor of texts, the paleographer, and especially the student of the history of written and printed communication" (Saenger, xiv).

	Steve McCaffery: Bouma Shapes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		While the paleographer's principle focus has been on the classification of individual letter forms, the student of the history of reading in the medieval West is primarily concerned with the evolution of the word shape, and the letter forms are important only to the degree that they play a role in determining that shape.
		Thus, the adoption of miniscule, that is, lowercase letters, as a book script is significant for the historian of reading insofar as it contributed, in conjunction with word separation, to giving each word a distinct image.
		The halo is this supplement added to perfection--something like the vibration of that which is perfect, the glow at its edges.

	James the Brother of Jesus, Stan Cox (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		An ossuary (bone box) dating from approximately 63 A.D. was recently discovered in the possession of a private collector in Jerusalem.
		A French Paleographer from the Sorbonne University in Paris by the name of Andre Lemaire recently found an ossuary (bone box) which very well may have housed the bones of James some time after his death.
		Though it will be impossible to establish with complete surety that the ossuary belonged to the Lord's brother, the most vehement objections to that possibility arise from the prejudice of those who are enemies of the Lord.

		As editor of the magazine that first alerted the public to this extraordinary artifact in an article by the eminent Sorbonne paleographer Andre Lemaire, my interest lies solely in whether the inscription is authentic or a forgery.
		More recently, one of Israel's most prominent paleographers, Dr. Ada Yardeni, was called to the stand by the prosecution.

	Burial Box May Be That of Jesus's Brother, Expert Says - www.ezboard.com
		The 2,000-year-old ossuary—a box that held bones—bears the inscription "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus." Until now, all references to the three men have been found only in manuscripts.
		Andre Lemaire, a paleographer at the Sorbonne University in Paris (École Pratique des Hautes Études), first saw the artifact and its inscription while examining the relics of a private collector in Jerusalem.
		He dates the box, which was empty, to 63 A.D. "This is probably going to be the biggest New Testament find in my lifetime, as big as the Dead Sea scrolls," said Ben Witherington, a New Testament professor at Asbury Theological Seminary in Lexington, Kentucky.
