The aim of this course is for students to gain an understanding of modern Latin palaeography and its development. The main aim will be to teach the students read basic types of texts that originated in the area of the current Czech Republic from the 16th to the 20th centuries, including sources of personal nature (such as correspondence, diaries, etc.). It will also consider a great number of register, insurance and inter-institutional materials (land-registers, lists of inhabitants, registry offices, urbars, land books, construction agreements, inheritance inventories, bills and others). By the end of the course, students will be able to orient themselves through and read correctly different variants of Czech and German neo-gothic types of writing.
Students will learn to read basic kinds of documents from 16 to 20 century. They will mainly master the so called neogothic script both in Czech and German because people in the Czech lands wrote with this script from 16 century up to 1941!
