This handbook offers an outline of Greek and Latin Palaeography, serving as an introduction to the subject rather than a comprehensive guide. It highlights various branches of study and suggests pathways for further exploration, complementing existing collections of facsimiles from the Palaeographical Society and other scholars. The text emphasizes that our understanding of historical handwriting development is informed by modern writing practices. Children learn to write by mimicking formal text-hands, and as they mature, their handwriting evolves while still reflecting the influence of their initial models. Consequently, individual handwritings emerge, each marked by the characteristics of their educational background and time period, which in turn influence subsequent generations. The publisher, Forgotten Books, specializes in reproducing rare and classic works, utilizing advanced technology to digitally reconstruct texts while preserving their original format and repairing imperfections found in aged copies. Although some flaws may remain, they are intentionally left to maintain the historical integrity of the works.
