Publisher's Synopsis
The Archive for Diplomatics (AfD) offers an international forum for research and presentations on the basic historical sciences and, based on them, on their neighboring disciplines from the early Middle Ages to the present day. The main emphasis of the essays and mishaps, richly furnished with illustrations and graphics, if necessary, lies in the areas of documents, files, official registers and archives and the history of writing. The same attention is paid to studies of seals and coats of arms as well as genealogy.
