HTR Winter School Vienna - Medieval German Text-Base for a Model for the 1400s

The dataset was prepared by the Medieval German Group within Winter School of HTR of Medieval Documents 2024.

We used five Manuscripts: Renner Cod. 2810 ÖNB (1410); Büchsenmeisterbuch Cod. 3064 ÖNB (1440); Sammelhandschrift Stadtrecht Cod. 2780 ÖNB (1423); Theologische Sammelhandschrift Cod. 2875 ÖNB (1400); Enikel Weltchronik Cod. 2921 ÖNB (1397)

Almost diplomatic Transcription with a few Exceptions - nasal Shortenings are always realised as a line, "er" Abbreviation is realised as "'", Dots above "y" were not (always) transcribed, colored Initials as plain Majuscels
