Learning outcomes
|
The course introduces students to the development and main types of Latin script since the end of the Middle Ages. The aim of the course is to acquire the basic theoretical minimum, but above all to learn the basics of reading the scripts used in the texts of the sources in the Czech lands. Emphasis is placed on individual and collective reading of selected sources, always progressing from the simpler texts, which stand at the highest level of calligraphy, to the most difficult texts, written in cursive script. The course provides an opportunity to learn about the development of the Neo-Gothic and Humanist scripts and to learn the basics of reading these scripts, which were used in the Czech lands to write modern texts from the beginning of the 16th to the 20th century. While less attention is paid to the humanist script, as it is the script used exclusively for Latin texts at this time, the interpretation and instructed reading of the Neo-Gothic script is given considerably more space. Adequate attention is given to both printed and written script (on which, for obvious reasons, the emphasis is placed).
Students have a theoretical knowledge of the development of writing in the modern period. They are able to characterise the main developmental phases as well as to describe the changes in the use of writing in this period. They can read moderately difficult texts from this period. They also know the system of basic abbreviations found in diplomatic sources.
