An Introduction to Greek and Latin Palaeography traces the
development of handwriting in the Greek and Latin alphabets from
the earliest papyri up to the book hands of the middle ages and the
court hands of the seventeenth century. It is, without doubt, the
best introductory text on the subject ever to appear in English.
This edition has been completely reset, and the illustrations have

completing his degree. He entered the library of the British Museum
(now British Library) in 1861 and became Keeper of Manuscripts in
1878. He was appointed Principal Librarian in 1888.
