Dr. Norgard will teach students to write Latin and English in secretary hand (a prevalent script used in 1500-1800s English manuscripts) with authentic period materials. The grant money will be used to purchase a classroom set of authentic Early Modern writing materials (chancery cotton paper, goose quills, and gall ink). Alongside studying paleography, students will work with book artifacts in Special Collections (e.g. Brant\u2019s 1502 Vergil\u2019s Aeneid) and digitized Early Modern manuscripts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/cml\/files\/2021\/10\/Norgard-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-864\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/cml\/files\/2021\/10\/Norgard-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/cml\/files\/2021\/10\/Norgard-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/cml\/files\/2021\/10\/Norgard-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/cml\/files\/2021\/10\/Norgard-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/cml\/files\/2021\/10\/Norgard-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/cml\/files\/2021\/10\/Norgard-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amy Norgard, Associate Professor of Classics, has been awarded a SAL Mini-Grant to support a hands-on approach to teaching Latin and Classics courses through paleography \u2013 that is, the study of old handwriting \u2013 in tandem with the study of rare books and manuscripts.
