In my exploration of studying Gothic handwriting, understanding context is key. If a letter is interpreted wrong, it can be difficult to understand the word. I try to stick to simple texts now as I am a novice.

Through my study, I have found that a word may therefore have varying spellings.<\/p>\n<p>As I have mentioned before, my little study of Gothic handwriting has taught me a lot from Geelmunden (2015). Parts of what is written below is from his article\u00a0Geelmuyden,\u00a0Knut:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergen.kommune.no\/bk\/multimedia\/archive\/00232\/Gotisk_skrift_-_En__232788a.pdf\"> &#8220;Gotisk skrift &#8211;\u00a0En kort veileding\u00a0i lesing av gamle kilder&#8221;\u00a0Bergen 2015<\/a>\u00a0that is available online, unfortunately only in Norwegian.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Names_in_the_sources\"><\/span>Names in the sources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Names in earlier times were not as fixed as in our time, as I observed during my study of Gothic handwriting. We easily see this when we go through the church records. A person can be mentioned with different names or spellings. \u00a0When a person has a farm name attached, it is most often the name of the farm they live on at the moment. In the 1800s, the farm name could, in towns, develop into surnames.

In this little study of Gothic handwriting, we may find capitals in unexpected places. In many cases, we may be in doubt if the letter is to be read as large or small. Large and small letters may be identical in shape and vary only in size. In other cases, the printer apparently used a capital letter where we expect a small letter.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Concentrate_on_every_letter_and_word\"><\/span>Concentrate on every letter and word<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You should study every letter and word carefully.

This is something I discovered during my study of Gothic handwriting. Note that different characters can be used for the same purpose, e.g., v and w, u and v, i and j.<\/p>\n<p>When the writer wants to erase a few words, it can be done with a line drawn through the words. But it was more common that text that were to be disregarded was underlined. This knowledge is part of my little study of Gothic handwriting. In other cases, there is a dotted line under the word. Underlining can therefore mean that the portion of the text were considered as discarded.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Old_spelling\"><\/span>Old spelling<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The writing in documents can sometimes seem strange. The further back in time you go, the more different the language is from what we are used to. My little study of Gothic handwriting reveals that in some documents, the writer has made errors. In Norway, many of the ministers and civil servants were foreigners. All of them had studied abroad (often in Denmark\u00a0or\u00a0Germany)\u00a0Due to this, old documents may be scattered with Danish, German, and Latin words and concepts. Old dictionaries may be of good help. Some old dictionaries are copied and made available on the internet. I am collecting &#8220;strange&#8221; words in my <a href=\"https:\/\/martinroe.com\/blog\/norwegian-genealogy-dictionary\/\">Genealogical dictionary found on this blog.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s it for now. After going through this little study, we cannot claim to have become experts in reading Gothic handwriting. My little study of this style, however, provides a small base to build on. As with most techniques, it is a matter of practice.<\/p>\n<p>This concludes my little study of\u00a0Gothic handwriting.
