Dataset description

This dataset was produced by the Canada Research Chair on Digital Textualities, as part of the Anthologia graeca project.

A first batch of 50 pages (143-195) were initially transcribed to train a transcription model prototype. We then added 20 pages (196-215) to produce the first version of a transcription model for Greek manuscripts. The transcription of these 70 pages can be found in data/CPgr23.

Transcription guidelines

To come.

Model description

A transcription model for Greek manuscripts was trained using this dataset. It can be found here: {placeholder}.

Images

This ground truth is based on images of the codex palatinus graecus 23 digitized by the Universitätsbibliothek Heidelberg (where the first part of the manuscript is kept -- the second one being in the BNF, as Supplementum graecum 384), and then uploaded to eScriptorium using IIIF. Find the manuscript here.
