I had thought that this topic could be interesting but it proves very interesting indeed for genealogists:
I've just found the time to listen to one of the Gresham College podcasts of a recent lecture on signatures - fascinating:
It touches on all sorts of issues surrounding signatures with snippets of info that are really quite important for genealogists - for example: about literacy and literacy, and about the significance of using a cross in lieu of a name.
