This online course introduces the key scripts and varieties found in books in late medieval Spain (13th-15th centuries). After the triumph of the Gothic scripts,
medieval Spain developed particular styles and varieties characteristic of book production creating a rich palaeographical canvas. We will explore not only the
characteristics of each script but also the relationship between scripts and other aspects such as manuscript types and formality, with opportunities to work
with manuscript images. By the end of this course you will be able to identify key script features of a number of Spanish Gothic varieties, and will be familiar
with the basics of the evolution of script in Spain in the Late Middle Ages.
This course is suitable for complete beginners. Basic Latin/Spanish would be a plus, but it is not required.
This short course is part of the London International Palaeography School
