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

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 centuries and transmit John Chrysostom’s <em>Homilies on St. Paul’s Epistles to Titus</em>. Homilies 1 and 5 were exploited for the training process. 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. Specifically, the <strong>sample_dataset_chrysostomus_ad-titum.csv</strong><strong> </strong>file includes the following columns: <strong>Sigla:</strong> a capital letter used in critical editions to refer to a specific manuscript in an abbreviated form. <strong>Manuscripts: </strong>the name of each manuscript, containing the library and the catalogue number assigned to it. <strong>Folia: </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 row of this file. <strong>Ground truth data sample [file_name]: </strong>the file name of the TEI/XML files that correspond to each manuscript. <strong>Image files: </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's digital archive (if applicable). <strong>**IMPORTANT NOTE:</strong> Version 1 contained an erroneous file. Please use only version 1.2.
