Paleographical Analysis of Scribes’ Hands in the Boskovice Land Register inv. no. 44

Abstract

The study deals with the land register of the town of Boskovice, inventory no. 44 (1784–1790), from the paleographic point of view. It especially focuses on the handwriting identification of the scribes that participated in its functioning in the 18th century. In addition to elementary questions about determining the style of writing and the way of using abbreviations, it tries to observe possible integration of humanistic elements into neo-Gothic cursive (“Kurrent”).
