List of manuscripts containing John Chrysostom's Homilies and the relevant manual transcriptions

<p>This dataset consists of a <strong>list of all manuscripts</strong> (in the form of a .csv file) used as data in experiments with HTR training via Transkribus. The manuscripts are dated between the 10th-14th&nbsp;centuries and transmit John Chrysostom&rsquo;s <em>Homilies on St. Paul&rsquo;s Epistles to Titus</em>. Homilies 1 and 5 were exploited for the training process.&nbsp;In addition, <strong>19 XML source files</strong> are provided in the <strong>TEI standards</strong> format, which contains a sample of the manual transcription used as ground truth data for training HTR models.</p> <p>Specifically, the&nbsp;<strong>sample_dataset_chrysostomus_ad-titum.csv</strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong>file includes the following columns:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Sigla:</strong> a capital letter used in critical editions to refer to a specific manuscript in an abbreviated form.</li> <li><strong>Manuscripts:&nbsp;</strong>the name of each manuscript, containing the library and the catalogue number assigned to it.</li> <li><strong>Folia:&nbsp;</strong>the folia (i.e., pages) of each manuscript used in the experiments. A different sequence of folia from the same manuscript is recorded in a separate&nbsp;row of this file.</li> <li><strong>Ground truth data sample [file_name]:&nbsp;</strong>the file name of the TEI/XML files that&nbsp;correspond&nbsp;to each manuscript.</li> <li><strong>Image files:&nbsp;</strong>most digital reproductions of manuscripts are under some degree of copyright protection. So, instead of the image files, in this column, one can find a link to the relevant library&#39;s digital archive (if applicable).</li> </ul> <p><strong>**IMPORTANT NOTE:</strong> Version 1 contained an erroneous file. Please use only version 1.2.</p>
