This fragment of wood is of a letter from Hostilius Flavianus to Flavius Cerialis the Commanding Officer of the IX Cohort of Batavians who were stationed at Vindolanda in about AD 97-105. He wishes Cerialis "a fortunate and happy New Year". https://www.vindolanda.com/ #Vindolanda #Roman #palaeography #NewYear

Monday is the start of the summer school in #digital #palaeography which I run in Göttingen every summer. We have 16 amazing international students and 2 weeks to play with #medieval fragments, #multispectral imaging, network analysis, bookbindings, biocodicology and much much more, topped off by a trip to the fabulous @hab_wf and a hackathon. It's the absolute highlight of my year. Follow this year's posts and photos via #SummerSchool25. @histodons @medievodons @historikerinnen

In today's #grandma recording, she told me how he transcribed an old contract about our farm. Apart from the old German script as such, she struggled with the spelling that was in dialect. The last world kept her up until 4 am, she said, when she finally was able to go to sleep after deciphering it. After her death, the folder with the 1821 contract was found, together with her transcript and was handed over to me. I'm so proud of her, how she pulled all this!

Revealing #palimpest with #multispectral #imaging! These amazing results, showing a #Merovingian overtext and a 5th-century Gospel undertext, were achieved by my colleague Alex Zawacki at Göttingen. I'll be presenting the full results of this and other cool discoveries in May at a German-language conference in Kiel.

One of the things that early medieval Insular #scribes did brilliantly is to use the shapes of letters to create elegant combinations that look completely natural. In this half-uncial script, the ligatured "gn" in "cognosceris" makes a new graphic shape - which looks beautiful because it seems to flow from the pen.

Happy to be sitting up doing some more old document reading. And thank goodness again for easy colour/balance graphics processing software to make it more readable! Here a testament testamentar (Scottish will and inventory) from 1648. #HistoricalResearch #ScottishHistory #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #17thCentury #SeventeenthCentury #Will #Wills #Inventory #Inventories #Testament #Testaments #Palaeography #GraphicsProcessing #GraphicSoftware
