The first few pages of ​Diversae "Conimbricenses In Universam dialecticam" (1606), ​Benedetti, Giovanni Battista de "Diversarvm specvlationvm mathematicarum, et physicarum liber" (1585) and ​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 ​Conimbricenses where the ​Special Instructions apply.

What does work

• Letters with swashes are recognized, except for this ​Quod which was transcribed as Luod. Character recognition is surprisingly high, e. g. ​Conimbricenses, p. 3
• ​List of unknown characters is used (two characters so far), unreadable text is marked up accurately.
• Multiline headings are recognized, possibly because of punctuation
• Both methods of marking up italics in headings is used:

  <h it>TRACTATVS QVI IN HOC
  volumine continentur.</h>
  

(​Benedetti, p. 6)

<h>_Theoremata Arithmetica._</h>

(​Benedetti, p. 13)

• Library stamps are either ​typed:

  <h>MAX-PLANCK-INB<?>TITUT
  $<?>UR WISS<?>ENSCN<?>AF<?>T@@@@CHICHTE</h>
  <h>Bibliothek</h>
  

or coded as ​<fig>:

<h><red>E SOCIETATE IESV,</r></h>
<h>_IN VNIVERSAMDIA_
_Iecticam Ari$totelis Stagiritæ_</h>
<fig>
<fig>

What does not work

• The <red> tag is always closed by the </r> tag.
• Some ornamental figures are not tagged, e. g. ​this one.
• Various mistypings occur frequently:
  • bumanitate rather than ​humanitate

Adjustments to be made

• In the ​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.
