Monday we were working through a family list where only one of about 14 kids managed to survive past 2 months. Today I get to transcribe the criminal record of an abortionist.

Paleografie = heavy shit.

Wow. Are you making electronic records, or translating, or...? Sounds pretty grim; I hope these aren't current events!

No it's all nineteenth century texts. Although I suppose if you pick the right country it could sort of apply today :(

We're basically learning to read old handwritings, so I have to transcribe it from squiggly inkblots to Times New Roman 12.
