VIIth day of the Groupe de recherches transversales en paléographie (GRTP)

The Groupe de recherches transversales en paléographie (GRTP), which aims to develop a transdisciplinary approach to palaeography, invites you to take part in a new day of study and discussion.

Following on from the chronological and spatial parameters in the formation, development and diversification of graphic types, we'll be looking at the voluntary or involuntary variations that affect the handwriting of the same individual.

What kind of variations are these ? What are the reasons behind them ? What methods do we have at our disposal to understand them ? These are the main questions to be addressed by our contributors, working in a variety of geographical and cultural areas.
