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

Batch 1

• ​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.
• ​Benedetti, Giovanni Battista de "Diversarvm specvlationvm mathematicarum, et physicarum liber" (1585)
  • Should be straightforward, since many examples in the specs are taken from Benedetti.
• ​Euclid "Elementorum Libri XV" (1607)
  • ​text in red: there is a rule for red text in version 1.1.2

• ​Agricola, Georg "De re metallica Libri XII" (1561)
  • ​que-Ligature with tilde: tan{quam}
  • ​Question mark
  • ​Vertical text as a caption
  • ​This caption will be most probably coded as a header/ footer (cf. ​next page)
  • This book also contains an ​index, which also contains fraktur.

  • ​∫ with tilde, followed by m: {secundu}m
• ​Aristoteles "Le mechanice" (1573)
  • Would a scan of ​two pages be digitized as two columns? What about the headers then?
