| Abstract | Diplomatics and palaeography have become increasingly separated sciences, although they both stem from Jean Mabillon's then revolutionary thoughts on studying ancient documents. Each developed its own methods and areas of research, as well as specific intellectual traditions inside the field of the so-called auxiliary sciences of history. This session aims at reflecting upon ways and means to associate them beyond their technical contributions to each other; the fact that they represent different sectors in the study of medieval writing should not condemn them to be no more than mere tools. |
