Help please! What should be 'James Johnesoun' looks decidedly like 'James Hohnesoun'? It is his 'upsat', or setting up payment, so it is probably some kind of phonetic rendering of Johnesoun (later deacon of the Hammermen Inc.), but does everyone else see 'Hohnesoun' here? #palaeography

I certainly am. Appalling.

We have leaflets #palaeography #Skystorians

Happy Easter! He is risen!

I’m liking that - hopefully he turns up again for comparison, but that sounds pretty good…

I can confirm that the 'steady' hands of seventeenth-century surgeons were no better at handwriting than any other doctor... Any ideas what the surname of 'Johwhn' might have been? Do you think he actually knew? #palaeography #surgeonsproject

Thoughtful and beautifully-written review of The Experience of Work in Early Modern England in @lrb.co.uk by @tomlukejohnson.bsky.social.

It's surreal to see #earlymodern deponents and workers like Lucretia Harward getting their day in the 21st-century sun! www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Help with #Latin #Palaeography please! It's a 1518 account for a Corpus Christi procession with a sum interspersed. What is the Latin contraction after Su[m]m[a] and before 'xxxviij s'? It seems to start 'pri', as used throughout on 'price', etc. The other loop is not part of the 'p' in pakthreid.

Today's #PalaeographyChallenge! Help with these 3 words would be much appreciated. TIA.

Can anyone recommend a good narrative history of La Salle, the French explorer?

Thanks! What about the ‘h’ glyphs though? I’m thinking a phonetic rendering of John is more likely?
