Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course is designed to provide students with comprehensive knowledge and skills in the study and analysis of Western medieval manuscripts through the application of machine learning methods for handwritten text recognition and their implementation in palaeographical and editorial contexts.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to identify a range of medieval scripts; transcribe manuscripts according to appropriate editorial conventions; recognise and expand abbreviations found in medieval texts; apply machine learning algorithms for artificial palaeography; and gain proficiency in the use of software for automatic transcription of handwritten documents.
