Caroline script learning by doing – on the way to the MOM-Ca image tool

Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici – Naples, Italy
15 April 2015

The students of this year’s Palaeography course had the unique occasion of a first hand experience of the daily life of a medieval copyist. Thanks to the practical lesson on writing Caroline script held by calligraphist Anna Schettin (Associazione Calligrafica Italiana) and thanks to the palaeographical approach of Antonella Ambrosio, the participants understood the delineation of the Caroline of the evangeliary of Gundis, a Sankt Gallen Codex of the beginning of the 10th century, and practised writing it with a reed pen. This was part of our path to palaeography with digital means and the work with the MOM-CA image tool.
