The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It encompasses the historicity of manuscripts and texts, subsuming deciphering and dating of historical manuscripts, as well as the analysis of historic penmanship, handwriting scripts, signification, and printed media.
- It is primarily concerned with the forms, processes, and relationships of writing and printing systems as evident in a text, document, or manuscript , analysis of the substantive textual content of documents is a secondary function.
- Included in the discipline is the practice of deciphering, reading, and dating manuscripts, and the cultural and technical context of writing systems, including the methods by which texts were produced, and the history of scriptoria.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Palaeography article was read about 38,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 78: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
