Use your free time to study the Gothic handwriting you find in many Norwegian sources

This is not a course in reading Gothic handwriting. This is an invitation to share my experiences when I sat down to learn to better read handwritten Norwegian sources.

I published this on the blog at the time but as I have many new subscribers I would like to present this again.

Here are the articles

• How to read Gothic handwriting – 1 A little bit on the background of Gothic lettering.
• Gothic handwriting – 2 The Gothic alphabet as it is found in the records.
• How to read Gothic handwriting – 3  Grouping letters together and looking at differences and similarities.
• How to read Gothic handwriting – 4 – Letters to Words Putting the letters together to words often found in records.
• How to read Gothic handwriting – 5 Some Things to observe when reading handwritten records.

I followed up with two articles on specific letters

• The Gothic letters “i” and “j”
• Gothic letters h, s and f
