Welcome to the Signum Fellowship, our shared habitat for personal learning and enrichment provided by a number of organizations!
Mixed Lecture/Discussion
Low intensity
This module gives an overview of writing and alphabets, literary and other works written on stone, papyrus, wax, and parchment.
More from Dr. Swain about this module: I love reading and writing. Both are "technological" revolutions that effected historical moments in human history. This module will look at the development of writing and of reading, the kinds of materials we have written on, and how we prepared those surfaces to record our words. We will learn vocabulary that is used to talk about all this. There will be a lot of pretty pictures!
