Dutch Poetry 1603-1636

The model was trained on an extensive manuscript of early modern poetry, in separate hands (of which one is the most important) using different types of writing and special lay-outs (e.g. chronograms).

The author of the manuscript is a rhetorician (vernacular poet) from Mechelen, present-day Belgium, active in the first decades of the seventeenth century. The training was based on a word count of over 51,000 words (more than 200 folios of text) and the CER is 5,00%.
