    VOCABULARY WORD: PALAEOGRAPHY

    Katie Jaeger writes: "I subscribe to the monthly newsletter
    of the U.K. Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies.
    Today's issue announces they are offering a September
    course on palaeography, using samples of records from the
    16th Century onward. Ah, to have the money and time!
    The definition of palaeography is: "the study of reading,
    interpreting and understanding old handwriting." Out of
    curiosity, I Googled the term and found an online tutorial
    at the U.K National Archives: Full Story

    I think this website would be of interest to E-Sylum readers."

    It's a remarkable coincidence, but the word appeared the
    same day on the Colonial Coins mailing list, in a posting by
    Bill, a semi-retired lawyer who has recently renewed his
    interest in numismatics. He wrote: "I am astounded by the
    plethora of numismatic websites today that simply did not
    exist ten years ago -- I still have my old fashioned library
    of books (some long out of print). My current online project
    is brushing up on my Latin and Latin palaeography and
    epigraphy, and I have discovered some fantastic websites
    in that area."
