Présentation de l'éditeur
Originally published in 1915, this book was intended to encourage students of medieval history to take up palaeography by demonstrating its importance when applied to certain historical documents in the collection of the Public Records Office. Jenkinson details the various types of 'court hand' that may be seen on medieval records, and emphasises that the study of palaeography must necessarily be accompanied with an equal emphasis on the history of administration. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in medieval history and the history of British administrative conventions.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the world of medieval English documents, exploring the essential role of palaeography ââ â the study of ancient handwriting ââ â in understanding these historical treasures. The author argues that while palaeography is undoubtedly valuable, its significance has been overstated, particularly when it comes to deciphering the vast and complex collection of records known as Court Hand. Instead, the author champions the often-neglected field of administrative history as the key to unlocking the secrets of Court Hand. By understanding the intricacies of medieval government and the practices of the various courts and administrative bodies, researchers can gain invaluable insights into the context, purpose, and meaning of these documents. Through a meticulous examination of different types of Court Hand documents, including charters, enrolments, and miscellaneous records, the author reveals the diverse range of writing styles and the challenges they present to palaeographers. The book challenges the notion that palaeography alone can provide definitive answers to questions of dating and authorship, highlighting the importance of considering historical context and administrative practices. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the intricate relationship between palaeography and administrative history, offering a fresh perspective on the study of medieval English documents. By emphasizing the significance of administrative context, the author provides researchers with a powerful tool for navigating the complexities of Court Hand and gaining a deeper understanding of England's rich medieval past. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
