Batch 1 and 2 on this page have already been sent to China; for the status of batch 3 on this page see the link. See also [wiki:OverviewWorkOrders2008]|| 


This page provides links to the books that are to be transcribed. Each book shows some idiosyncrasies worth noting and considering.

=== Batch 1: to be sent immediately ===

  * [http://libcoll.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/libview?mode=imagepath&url=/mpiwg/online/permanent/library/D9V0Q862/pageimg Diversae "Conimbricenses In Universam dialecticam" (1606)]
   * Book-specific instructions: <tf> tag for separate text flows, <q> and <a> tags for anchored comments. Addendum to version 1.1.2, may or may not be included in later versions of the specs.

  * [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)]
   * Should be straightforward, since many examples in the specs are taken from Benedetti. 
   * Number notation, for example .4.: The rules for punctuation apply, we will see what happens.
   * Complex fractions: Probably only in figures

   * additional ligatures, e.g. _{$p}_: Will be added to version 1.2. For now, we will just see what happens.

=== Batch 2: can be sent with version 1.1.2 ===
