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!

51 years ago, my home country (Portugal) overthrew dictatorship. The military coup became known as the Carnation Revolution as soldiers placed the red flowers in barrels of their guns to celebrate freedom and the success of a what was mostly a peaceful revolution.
