Hello everyone,
English Handwriting 1500-1700: An Online Course
http://www.english.cam.ac.uk/ceres/ehoc/
I am pleased to announce the public launch of a new resource for early
modern English palaeography, 'English Handwriting 1500-1700: An Online
Course'. This electronic resource, a project of the Cambridge English
Renaissance Electronic Service (CERES), has been jointly developed and
written by the usual suspects at CERES: Andrew Zurcher (that's me), Gavin
Alexander, and Raphael Lyne. The extensive collection of images and
supporting materials that we have compiled for the course--reflecting the
generosity of a wide group of individuals and institutions here in
Cambridge, and representative of the strong local manuscript collections
and tradition--should prove useful to beginners and more experienced
palaeographers alike. While the course lessons are designed for
palaeographical newcomers (e.g. at the graduate level), the flexibility of
the resource's design should make it equally useful for those desiring to
refresh or focus their manuscript skills.
This project has been funded by a HEFCE grant (through the Centre for
Applied Research in Educational Technologies, http://www.caret.cam.ac.uk)
and is supported and generously hosted by the Faculty of English at the
University of Cambridge, to whom we record our thanks.
Please feel free to have a look, and to pass this announcement on to your
colleagues and students. As always, we welcome positive and
(constructive!) negative feedback of all kinds, and hope with your help to
improve the course as time goes on. Should you have any questions or
problems accessing or using the site, please feel free to email me at

Thanks very much,
Andrew Zurcher
