La scrittura di Sant’Ignazio di Loyola tra paleografia e chimica

Abstract

The article is composed of two different parts, both resulting from the palaeographic analysis of the Diario spirituale written by Ignatius of Loyola. The first part outlines Spain’s graphic panorama during the 16th century and contextualises the writing of Saint Ignazio examining its peculiarities and the used abbreviation systems. The second part studies the writing method on the basis of the spectrographic analysis of the ink, with particular attention given to ink changes and corrections made during the writing.
