Hi everyone and best of the season to you all:-). In recent times much of my research has taken me to a time in history where past scholars wrote quite differently than today and used fonts and calligraphy styles that I find quite hard or let's face impossible to read with my novice eye:-) Can someone please guide me as to any ways of learning more about this subject so as to better familiarize me with these old texts please, all suggestions welcome. Books and web sites all appreciated.. Jim Patterson-Brewin

Many thanks for all the great suggestions and info everyone will take all into consideration as I begin to decipher the older styles of UK texts beginning to appear in my research :-) Best of the Season to all..
