The first few pages of [http://libcoll.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/libview?mode=imagepath&url=/mpiwg/online/permanent/library/D9V0Q862/pageimg Diversae "Conimbricenses In Universam dialecticam" (1606)], [http://echo.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/ECHOdocuView/ECHOzogiLib?mode=imagepath&url=/mpiwg/online/permanent/library/163127KK/pageimg Benedetti, Giovanni Battista de "Diversarvm specvlationvm mathematicarum, et physicarum liber" (1585)] and [http://echo.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/ECHOdocuView/ECHOzogiLib?mode=imagepath&url=/mpiwg/online/permanent/library/2QTVUHDT/pageimg Euclid  "Elementorum Libri XV" (1607)] were digitized and sent back for evaluation. In general, the results are very good. 

Unfortunately, the work sample does not contain a page of the [http://libcoll.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/libview?mode=imagepath&url=/mpiwg/online/permanent/library/D9V0Q862/pageimg Conimbricenses] where the [https://itgroup.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de:8080/tracs/mpdl-project-content/attachment/wiki/DataEntrySpecs/DESpecs_special_Conimbricenses.pdf Special Instructions] apply.

PDF versions of the work samples are attached. In these PDF versions, the font is Helvetica 12pt (10pt for Benedetti), blank lines have been inserted before <pb> tags, and < > { } _ are in bold face.

= What does work =
 * Letters with swashes are recognized, except for this [http://echo.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/ECHOdocuView/ECHOzogiLib?pn=15&ws=1&ww=1&wh=1&mk=0.1666/0.5916&mode=imagepath&url=/mpiwg/online/permanent/library/2QTVUHDT/pageimg Quod] which was transcribed as Luod. Character recognition is surprisingly high, e. g.

 * Multiline headings are recognized, possibly because of punctuation

= What does not work =
 * The <red> tag is always closed by the </r> tag.
 * Some ornamental figures are not tagged, e. g. [http://echo.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/ECHOdocuView/ECHOzogiLib?pn=14&ws=1&ww=1&wh=1&mk=0.253/0.1341&mode=imagepath&url=/mpiwg/online/permanent/library/2QTVUHDT/pageimg this one].

= Adjustments to be made =
 * In the [https://itgroup.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de:8080/tracs/mpdl-project-content/attachment/wiki/DataEntrySpecs/DESpecs_1_1_2_overview.pdf DESpecs 1.1.2] it is not said that the <mg{l|r}> tag may contain the ''it'' argument. Thus, the _ _ markup is used consistently. The Specs should allow this.
