Help please #Twitterlinguists and #Twitterstorians. What language was this draper speaking in North Africa in 1610? "He was the linguiste for the viadge because he hath the Morisco tongue" (HCA 13/41 f.2v) #signsofliteracy
Help appreciated from #Twitterstorians with this Latin: "Hugo Needes parochia Sancta Olavi in Burgo de Southwarke nauta ubi moram fecit [?pteXXXX] [?XXX] [?XXX] etats aetatis 28 annorum aut circiter" (HCA 13/63 f.1r) #signsofliteracy

It pays for Early Modern lightermen to be literate in terms of precision as to dates, quantities and values of goods, when sued #signsofliteracy
We are recording letters sent, received, read and commented on by mariners (both literate and non-literate) in English Admiralty Court depositions 1570-1670. They were sent and received in large numbers across wide geographies #signsofliteracy @Prize_Papers
Good morning #Twitterstorians. Does anyone know of sources of signatures (+ marks/initials) of apprentices/servants in C16th-C18th? We have 1100 signoffs from all sorts of trades in our SOLM-2020 Admiralty Court data set & want to compare with other sources #signsofliteracy
More Early Modern microliteracy insights. Here the full company of a small fishing ketch working the Thames estuary and selling its catch in London at Billingsgate. @Brodie_Waddell @judyzara #signsofliteracy
Did EM literacy run in families? Not on this fishing ketch, in 1632. Fishing for sprats. The elder brother is literate; his younger brother by three years is illiterate. Four man boat with 50% signature literacy. One illiterate sailor on ketch came from Devon. #signsofliteracy

Microliteracy history of carpenter's work done for the owner of the 400 ton ship the Mayflower, 1632 and 1633/34 #signsofliteracy
How stable were Early Modern signatures? #signsofliteracy
Bright lights. Big City. Walter Barker made the transition in 1634 from husbandman in the small rural village of Coleorton in Leicestershire to be apprenticed to a London wine cooper. Living in Rood Lane. Literate. #signsofliteracy @judyzara @Brodie_Waddell
Want proof regarding the literacy and letter writing of the wives of mariners, and specifically of the wives of officers on Early Modern commercial ships? #signsofliteracy @judyzara @Brodie_Waddell
A small but telling case study showing export of mariner literacy from Devon to Thames shoreline (and London) late C16th/early C17th and internal movement of mariner literacy within Devon #signsofliteracy @judyzara @Brodie_Waddell
Examining the exportation of mariner literacy from Devon to London in late C16th/early C17th & also within Devon in relation to school availability. Green is literate. Brown is illiterate. Oval=moved to London. Oblong lozenge=stayed in Devon. Assumeliteracy acquired by age 10
Where did EM mariners learned to read & write? There were parish & other schools to go to in large numbers, on active maritime coasts & close to ports. Consistent with Spufford's work on schooling #signsofliteracy @judyzara @Brodie_Waddell @historywomble
We would be interested in talking with doctoral students and scholars looking at the teaching and transfer of literacy between generations. Especially the role of parents. We have a decent data set we are happy to share and discuss. #signsofliteracy
Could the wives of Early Modern mariners read and write. Yes, plenty could. How did they learn? Example of Elizabeth More, wife of a mariner & daughter of a mariner. Her father could write, and she was well acquainted with his writing. #signsofliteracy @judyzara @Brodie_Waddell

Early Modern Thames watermen had good literacy and quantitative skills. Read this case study to see why #signsofliteracy @judyzara @Brodie_Waddell
Amazing what those Early Modern tradesmen were capable of losing - pocket books of accounts, bills, notes, receipts, old almanacks... #signsofliteracy
Time to learn Dutch. Long on my wish list. What better than to use a free online 1660 Dutch primer with a nice line in invective #signsofliteracy @earlymodernjohn
Another publication by John Seller (1632-1697) - instrument maker, map and book publisher - variously of Wapping, Tower Hill and near the Royal Exchange. Intended for mariners. This is an almanac from ca. 1677, with handwritten notes by an C18th owner #signsofliteracy @judyzara
