Abstract

Of all the disciplines that study the past through its written heritage, paleography For an introduction to paleography see [1]. is the one that focuses mainly on the analysis of the script borne by manuscript books. The goal of the paleographical method is to date and to localize books produced by hand through the analysis of their ancient scripts. This chapter describes the System for Paleographic Inspections (SPI) software suite developed at the University of Pisa, how the system has been used by paleographers in their attempts to classify and identify scripts, and how it can be improved further to meet the research needs of paleographers.
