Yesterday, I finally visited the wonderful Pech Merle cave.
A very moving and thrilling experience.
Especially grateful for the patience and bravery of my 2-year old who accompanied me 40 meters underground ☺️

Training in early Frankish palaeography is not just for those working on this period, it will help you understand Late Roman, Carolingian, and Protogothic scripts& to approach cursive writing from later centuries too.
It’s a doorway to many centuries of Latin palaeography!
