- Abstract:
- The thirteenth-century medieval scribe, the ‘Tremulous Hand of Worcester’ is known for the tremor visible in his script. Thorpe and Alty combine historical analysis with the first neurological study of the scribe’s handwriting. After considering various differential diagnoses, they conclude that the balance of evidence favours essential tremor.
