What is Palaeography?

Palaeography (UK) or paleography (US; ultimately from Greek: παλαιός, palaiós, «old», and γράφειν, graphein, «to write») is the study of ancient and historical handwriting (that is to say, of the forms and processes of writing; not the textual content of documents). Included in the discipline is the practice of deciphering, reading, and dating historical manuscripts,[2] and the cultural context of writing, including the methods with which writing and books were produced, and the history of scriptoria.
