For its 48th year there has been a change in the organisation of the Latin and Palaeography Summer School. For this year, and possibly for future years, the School is being organised by The Ranulf Higden Society and will be an entirely online course.
The School is for those who wish to acquire or improve their skills in reading and transcribing medieval and early modern documents in Latin, English and Anglo-Norman French. The documents selected by the tutors are taken mostly from English archives (both national and local) and are those chiefly used by historians rather than literary texts. The School consists of four courses with two courses designed to provide an introduction to medieval Latin and to medieval palaeography. The other two courses are designed to meet the needs of more experienced students examining specific classes of records in detail. One of the main benefits of the School is that students can build up their knowledge and confidence during the week.
