{"product_id":"compendio-de-paleografia-espanola","title":"Compendio de paleografia española","description":"Spanish archives hold documents in hands that a modern reader simply cannot decipher: visigothic, the various gothic cursives, the processal script whose loops defeated even contemporaries. Antonio Alverá Delgrás (1815-1868) compiled this manual to teach the reading of them, with plates of the scripts, the abbreviations and the numerals as they were actually written. Palaeography is a craft learned by comparison, and a compendium of this kind is the instrument of that comparison — which is why the nineteenth-century manuals remain in use long after their scholarship has been superseded. This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1857 Madrid edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.","brand":"EDITIONS RECREASOFT","offers":[{"title":"Perfect Bound","offer_id":67484029845808,"sku":"9782387811752","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thegreatbritishbookshop.co.uk\/products\/compendio-de-paleografia-espanola","provider":"The Great British Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
