Recenzii
'Few palaeographical handbooks achieve the status of classics, but Malcolm Parkes's English Cursive Book Hands 1250-1500 is beyond doubt one of them. Since it was first published in 1969 the accuracy of its judgements and the lapidary manner in which they are expressed have rendered it the touchstone for the description and analysis of later medieval English handwriting. It is a work of permanent significance, and its reappearance in a second reprint will be universally welcomed.' Richard Beadle, University of Cambridge, UK 'This is avowedly a teaching book, one from which a teacher can teach others, or a learner can teach himself.' Speculum 1971
Descriere
First published in 1969, English Cursive Book Hands rapidly established itself as a key resource for the study and teaching of palaeography. It covers the changes in handwriting that arose from the mid-12th century, tracking the growth and development of the cursive script that came to dominate book production in medieval England. This reprint is a re-issue of the 1979 2nd edition published by Scolar Press.
