This advanced course explores how handwriting derived from administrative, economic, or legal functions in six historical contexts generates expressive forms that define writing systems. Throughout all examples, the application of the stroke cannot be understood without its morphological, poetic, or aesthetic dimension. The study of handwriting in each historical situation is approached as an integration of forms and functions. The curriculum examines the expressiveness of the stroke, the cultural representation of handwriting since medieval times, and its connection with music, alongside the analysis of manuscript texts. Students will develop transcription skills for medieval and modern examples by studying the morphological characteristics of writing cycles associated with book and document production in the Hispanic kingdoms. The course is structured around two central axes: the function and form of writing. In parallel, the calligraphic reproduction of graphemes and their corresponding allographs enables a deep immersion into the pure act of writing, enhancing final performance with a creative, artistic, and gesturally inspiring dimension. Modules explore scientific writing in exploration journals, legal manuscripts, ephemeral written culture including palimpsests and marginalia, musical notation, literary creation, and the presence of handwriting in pictorial works. Through this multifaceted approach, students gain both technical paleographic skills and artistic appreciation for the expressive potential of historical writing systems.
