We're going to go ahead and start with a sample from this manuscript from a Cathedral Burgos to start to appreciate what a 14th century hand looks like. And, I'm just going to employ the method that I usually use. So, let's just get started. So, strategy one is always just to scan the entire document. We're going to go ahead and just look at this very first paragraph. So, I'm going to scan that very quickly. And you can go ahead and pause the video right now if you'd like to. Great. So the first piece that I want to do is move on to strategy two, which is to identify those letters, abbreviations, numbers that I can immediately recognize. And I'm going to go ahead and use some of this cool kit on the screen to start finding this. So quickly, let me go ahead and just take a copy of this little ring here. So right away, I see an A here. Let's see if I can find another A right away. There's another one right there. Okay. And, I see it. Let's see where else where I might see another one. That's good one right there. So, I already have some A's. I make a note of that but I found A's over here. And, let's look for another letter, jumps out. I see a U, right away here. Let's see if we see any other U's just off the top. Here's another one. I'm just kind of scanning through the document as you can see. And, see if I can just see another U that sticks out because my eyes are already accustomed to seeing those, great. There's another U. All right. Let's find another letter that maybe sticks out for us. How about this one? That is an S. It's a capital S. Really easy to see. So, and there's one right next to it. Okay. Well, that's a name, obviously. And it's already starting to stick out to me. So, S is, I'm comfortable with already. And this will all come along slowly for you but as you spend a lot of time with any particular hand-job become much better at it. In this case, this is a hand I know quite well. Here is a D. And, let's see if we can find another D. This is very common letters, so. So we're already building our alphabet as you can see. So we have an A, and we're also going to record over here a U, a capital S, and a lowercase d. So, that's the strategy to where we want to go ahead and identify those kind of easy to identify letters. So strategy three, just continue to move along, and I'm going to ask you to the same thing in a couple minutes with the next paragraph. But, let's go ahead and look for common words to understand how this arrive, connects their letters together, and to recognize other alphabetical letters and numbers. So I saw one just a minute ago and I'm going to create a whole new color for one. Let's go ahead and choose new color for connectives, letters. So, we had that D there. I'm just going to move this up above, just to remind us where the D. There. That one looks bright. There. It's a common word, de. See if there are any other common words here. Here's another de. And another de. All right. So now, we have common word, de. And, since we already did this previously and then are learning how to use SILRest to evaluate letters. Bet you can see another word right next to the de over here. Let's create a new reading for it. And it's an old spelling. I will change the color, purple. Fijo. So, fijo, FIJO. You see that I'm taking notes along the way to get myself accustomed to the letters that I've already have on here. So pretty quickly now, I've kind of identified some of those common words. And, we could see the F, the I, the J, and O. So, now we know what the O looks like. And I'm just going to put that over here. It was O, and J, and an I, and F. So, that's how we're building our alphabet.
