This model is trained with a training data set of 60 pages of a manuscript ("Theosophia Aegyptiorum") by the alchemist and physician Michael Maier (1568-1622) from the early 17th century - presumably from 1611. The manuscript is written in Latin language and was written by a scribe. A model trained on the basis of three of Maier's concept writings (also manuscripts from the early 17th century) was used as the base model for training the model. Within the model the logical negation sign ("¬") was used as a word separator. Abbreviations - for example for "que" or "us" - were not broken up and transcribed as they appear in the text. The same applies to any special characters. The transcription is therefore based on the original and is not orientated towards simplified readability.
You can use this model to automatically transcribe Handwritten documents with Handwritten Text Recgnition in Transkribus.
