Description

This session, led by Francisco Gago-Jover and Pablo Pastrana-Pérez, follows the highly successful inaugural session on Ibero-Romance Paleography (2017), which had over fifty attendees and received enthusiastic support from the Ibero-medievalists at the congress. This workshop is devoted to the presentation of different paleographic standards for the transcription of Ibero-Romance documents, with emphasis on the medieval and early-modern periods. Mention to both manuscript and early printed documents, be they in textual, paratextual or iconographic form, will be made to illustrate the different practices. Emphasis will be placed on conflicting or problematic issues in transcribing Ibero-Romance documents and in the different approaches to their resolution. Attendees will have time to practice the paleographic transcription of texts in mnanuscript and early-printed forms.
