EPARCHOS - Historical Greek handwritten document dataset

The dataset originates from a Greek handwritten codex that dates from around 1500-1530. This is the subset of the codex British Museum Addit. 6791, written by two hands, one by Antonius Eparchos and the other by Camillos Zanettus (ff. 104r-174v) and delivers texts by Hierocles (In Aureum carmen), Matthaeus Blastares (Collectio alphabetica) and, notably, texts by Michael Psellos (De omnifaria doctrina). The writing delivers the most important abbreviations, logograms and conjunctions, which are cited in virtually every Greek minuscule handwritten codex from the years of the manuscript transliteration and the prevalence of the minuscule script (9th century) to the post-Byzantine years. This dataset consists of 120 scanned handwritten text pages, containing 9285 lines of text, 18809 words (6787 unique words). For each page, a PageXML is provided containing the following groundtruth: Text region polygon coordinates Text line polygon coordinates with the corresponding transcription text Word polygon coordinated with the corresponding transcription text本数据集源自一份成书于约1500至1530年的希腊语手抄抄本（codex），该抄本的子集合为大英博物馆馆藏Addit. 6791号藏品，由两位书写者誊写：其一为安东尼奥·埃帕尔霍斯（Antonius Eparchos），其二为卡米洛斯·扎内图斯（Camillos Zanettus），誊写范围为第104r至174v页。该抄本收录了希罗克勒斯（Hierocles）的《论金诗》（In Aureum carmen）、马泰奥·布拉斯塔雷斯（Matthaeus Blastares）的《字母汇编》（Collectio alphabetica），尤为重要的是还包含米哈伊尔·普塞洛斯（Michael Psellos）的《论全方位学说》（De omnifaria doctrina）相关文本。其书写体系涵盖了几乎所有希腊小写体（minuscule）手抄抄本中都会出现的重要缩写、语标与连词，覆盖的时间范围从手稿转写与小写体书写体系普及的9世纪，直至后拜占庭时期。本数据集共包含120张扫描得到的手写文本页面，总计9285行文本、18809个单词（其中6787个为唯一单词）。为每一页均提供了PageXML格式的基准真值（groundtruth）标注，包含以下内容：文本区域多边形坐标、文本行多边形坐标及对应转录文本、单词多边形坐标及对应转录文本。
