Professor Gottfried Pott, the artist and researcher who studies historical writings from Roman times to the present, invites you to his lecture on scribal art from the time of Charlemagne on Sunday, 15 October at 11.30 am. The subject will be the reforms of Alkuin and Einhardt and how one could find easily readable texts in huge emperors’ empire. He will also talk about writing techniques that are still practised today.
