Debby Banham | From the point of view of my own research, my interest in Caroline minuscule is mainly in what happens to it in England, and how it influences other scripts there, but as a teacher of palaeography I'd also like to expand my knowledge of the script in its original home. I'm particularly interested in medical manuscripts.
Giuliana Capriolo | My research is mainly related to Latin medieval handwriting, circulation and production of manuscripts in southern Italy; I'm also dealing with medieval notarial documents in Campania.
Ainoa Castro | Visigothic script. I know it is not Carolingian, but since I work mostly with the Galician regional variant of Visigothic, my interest in Carolinigian script is focused on script transfers that happened for a century while Visigothic was fading.
