Usual handwriting in Santiago de Compostela in the first half of the 16th century through the written sources of the Royal Hospital
Abstract
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to analyse the handwriting of those individuals from Santiago de Compostela, who did not make a living by writing professionally in the 16th century. We have chosen one of the accounting books from the Royal Hospital, in which we can see the signatures of many inhabitants from Santiago, as well as some autograph documents issued by different members of the institution. We will study the graphical culture of those individuals, taking into account three factors: the social spread of handwriting, the different levels of writing skills and the graphic models used.
