Course objectives
The subject builds on the introductory study course Introduction to Historical Sciences. In particular it develops practical skills in reading old documents of an official nature. Emphasis is placed not only on the correct reading of texts but also on their correct understanding. The course activities lead students to become independent in interpreting relatively "unreadable" places in texts and learn about the basics of finding the evidential value of official sources. An e-learning course is also available.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to:
- analyse the historical sources;
- read them reliably;
- interpret their content;
- acquire the relevant information from them for historical research.
