English cursive book hands, 1250-1500

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-twelfth 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 second edition published by Scolar Press.
