We are always keen to broaden the scope of our blog, and we would like to hear from anyone involved in the learning or teaching of palaeography and codicology. This means that we are interested in what you have to say, whether you have been teaching manuscript studies for years, whether you are currently taking a course (inside or outside a traditional setting), whether you are self-taught, or making the switch from student to teacher, whether you are trialling a new approach to teaching, or whether you want to reflect on successful pedagogical strategies. We are also keen for the blog to explore languages and traditions which have not been represented here so far.
If you would like to propose a blog post, please fill in the form below.
