13. Medieval Writing [Macromedia Flash Reader]
http://medievalwriting.50megs.com/writing.htm

Developed and maintained by Dr. Dianne Tillotson, this site is a good
location to begin learning about handwriting and manuscript production in
the Middle Ages. Needless to say, the art and science of deciphering these
manuscripts is terribly time-consuming and complicated. The site is
divided into approximately thirteen sections, and first-time visitors
would do well to read the "What is paleography?" essay first, in order to
learn about this elaborate decoding process. The other sections of the
site describe (through words, illustrations, and photographs) the life of
a scribe during the Middle Ages, the tools utilized to produce the
manuscripts, and the various forms that manuscripts took during this
historical era. One rather delightful aspect of the site are the
paleography exercises where visitors can try their hand at deciphering
various passages from medieval manuscripts, including Dante's Inferno and
the Book of Hours. [KMG]
