Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Greek and Latin Palaeography This Hand-book does not pretend to give more than an outline of the very large subject of Greek and Latin Palaeography. It must be regarded as an introduction to the study of the subject, indicating the different branches into which it is divided and suggesting the lines to be followed, rather than attempting full instruction. It in no way supersedes the use of such works as the collections of facsimiles issued by the Palaeographical Society and by other societies and scholars at home and abroad; but it is hoped that it will serve as an aid to the more intelligent and profitable study of them. Our conclusions as to the course of development of the handwritings of former ages are based on our knowledge and experience of the development of modern forms of writing. Children at school learn to write by copying formal text-hands in their copy-books, and the handwriting of each child will bear the impress of the models. But as he grows up the child developes a handwriting of his own, diverging more and more from the models, but never altogether divesting itself of their first influence. Thus, at all times, we have numerous individual handwritings, but each bearing the stamp of its school and of its period; and they, in their turn, react upon and modify the writing of the next generation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ...width or flatness, which is very apparent in such letters as A, M, N, TT, to. In other documents this is less apparent, and the writing does not seem far removed iu style from that of the next century. Some independent pieces, such as correspondence, are written in very cursive characters which have a peculiar ragged appearance and are often difficult to read. These documents, however, are not the only specimens of cursive writing of the third century B.C. within our reach. A few scattered pieces have already for many years been stored in the various museums of Europe, but the antiquity of some of them has not been recognized, and they have been thought to belong to the period of the Koman occupation of Egypt. At Leyden there is a papyrus (Pap. Q), containing a receipt of the 20th year of Ptolemy Philadelphus, 2GO B.C. At Berlin, Paris, and London there are three wooden tablets inscribed with deeds relating to a loan of the 30th and 31st years of the same king, about 254 B.C. Among the papyri of the British Museum, three, formerly ascribed to a later date, are now more correctly placed in the third century, viz., a petition for redress of grievances (Pap. cvi.) of the 25th year, apparently, of Ptolemy Euergetes I., B.C. 223; and two others (1. and li.A) without dates. The Paris collection also contains a longmoney account for public works (Not. et Extr. xviii. 2, pi. xliv.) of the same century, which has been incorrectly assigned to the Roman period. A facsimile of a letter of introduction, evidently of this time, is given by Passalacqua.1 Egger describes a papyrus at Athens, '1 and various Greek endorsements and dockets on Demotic papyri are noticed by Revillout.3 Ostraka or potsherds also have been found with inscriptions of this period...

This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Greek and Latin Palaeography Although the task which lies before us of investigating the growth and changes of Greek and Latin palaeography does not require us to deal with any form of writing till long after the alphabets of Greece and Rome had assumed their final shapes, yet a brief sketch of the developement of those alphabets, as far as it is known, forms a natural introduction to the subject. The alphabet which we use at the present day is directly derived from the Roman alphabet; the Roman, from a local form of the Greek; the Greek, from the Phoenician. Whence the Phoenician alphabet was derived we are not even yet in a position to declare. The ingenious theory set forth, in 1859, by the French Egyptologist de Rouge of its descent from the ancient cursive form of Egyptian hieratic writing, which had much to recommend it, and which for a time received acceptance, must now be put aside, in accordance with recent research. Until the alphabetic systems Of Crete and Cyprus and other quarters of the Mediterranean shall have been solved, we must be content to remain in ignorance of the actual materials out of which the Phoenicians constructed their letters.
