Resum

The aim of this research is to analyse the connection between the different types of notaries of Santiago de Compostela in the 15th century and the scripts they used. We shall verify whether a graphic specialisation within this professional group existed according to the authority they were appointed by. Moreover, as other factors influenced the decision of using one handwriting typology, we shall examine the institutions where the notaries worked, the type of documents they produced, the language of the text, or their writing training. We consider that a comparison between the urban world and the rural areas will be very useful for this goal.
