What is "paleography"?

Paleography is the study of ancient writing systems and the analysis of historical manuscripts. It focuses on understanding how different scripts have evolved over time, examining aspects such as letter forms, styles, and materials used for writing. Paleographers analyze texts to determine their age, origin, and authenticity, helping to decipher languages and scripts that are no longer in common use. This field is essential for historians and researchers who seek to understand the past through written records, as it provides insights into cultural and linguistic developments.
