Abstract
This conference highlights the importance of combining history and philology in an interdisciplinary manner as the most comprehensive means of correctly studying the historical evolution of writing in the Middle Ages on the Iberian Peninsula. It will focus on the study of abbreviations and marginal notes in Hebrew. There will be theoretical sessions in the morning and a practical session in the afternoon, with calamus pens, quills and handmade ink, working about "experimental paleography".
