This electronic resource, a project of the Cambridge English > > Renaissance Electronic Service (CERES), has been jointly developed and > > written by the usual suspects at CERES: Andrew Zurcher (that's me), Gavin > > Alexander, and Raphael Lyne. The extensive collection of images and > > supporting materials that we have compiled for the course--reflecting the > > generosity of a wide group of individuals and institutions here in > > Cambridge, and representative of the strong local manuscript collections > > and tradition--should prove useful to beginners and more experienced > > palaeographers alike.
