Discussion about death in the Medieval.
Dear H-Death members,
Those of you interested in illness, death and grieving in the Mediterranean during the Medieval may be interested in two new papers.
Recently the writing system of a Medieval manuscript was revealed to be proto-Romance: i.e. the ancestor to Spanish and the other modern Romance languages. In addition, it is written with a proto-Italic alphabet. It is the only known document of this kind and therefore has considerable linguistic and historic importance.
