Scilicet

Knowledge comes in many different forms which are constantly changing throughout history.

About us
Scilicet was born out of our studies for PhDs in History at the University of St Andrews.
While undertaking our research, we often came across anecdotes or archival documents that we thought were fun and interesting but wouldn’t really fit into our theses. This blog is a way for us to share them with you.
