The publication of [Dom Jean Mabillon's De Re Diplomatic Libri Vl in 1681] marks the birth date of diplomatics and paleography. . . . However, the science which studies ancient scripts³ did not yet have a name; the term paleography was coined by another Benedictine, Dom Bernardo de Monffauçon, who published Palaeographia graeca, sive de ortu et progressu literarum in 1708, but the systematic study of types of script was initiated by Mabillon.
