Historical Archive: Continental Charters and Seals, late 8th to late 10th c.

All were photographed from original medieval materials, not modern casts.
Many details are available, showing particular letter forms, facial features, and drapery patterns.
If you need an image not yet online, feel free to contact me and I will prioritize the requested object.
This page is organized chronologically by ruler.
