13 texts (three in batch 1 and ten in batch 2)

DESpecs 1.1.2, plus Special Instructions for Ghetaldi 1603, Stevin 1605 and Euclid 1607 (see attachment "DESpecs_special_tables.pdf") and Special Instructions for Diversae 1606 (see ​DESpecs_special_Conimbricenses.pdf).

1. ​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
2. ​Diversae "Conimbricenses In Universam dialecticam" (1606)
   • Special Instructions: <tf> tag for separate text flows, <q> and <a> tags for anchored comments.
3. ​Euclid "Elementorum Libri XV" (1607)
   • ​text in red: there is a rule for red text in version 1.1.2
   • additional ligatures, e.g. _{$p}_: Will be added to version 1.2. For now, we will just see what happens.
4. ​Archimedes "De insidentibvs aqvae (Archimedis De insidentibus aquae)" (1565)
5. ​Aristoteles "Quaestiones Mechanicae" (1585)
   • minor problem: skewed text (problem of the digitalization)
   • minor problem: swashes. Testcase: See what they make out of swashes.
   • minor problem: p.25: some letters are printed badly
   • ​∫ with tilde, followed by m: {secundu}m
6. ​Benedetti, Giovanni Battista Consideratione d'intorno al discorso della grandezza della terra e dell' acqua di Berga (1579)
7. ​Casati, Paolo "De igne" (1686)
   • index at the end, which is easy to type (no problem with right-aligned page numbers)
8. ​Ghetaldi, Marino "Promotus Archimedis seu de varijs corporum generibus gravitate et magnitudine comparatis" (1603)
   • Asterisks as anchors for marginal notes, not repeated in the note itself. Add as a note to the section about marginal notes.
9. ​Heron Alexandrinus "De gli automati : ouero machine semoventi, libri due" (1589) (change to 1601 edition!)
   • p.6: ornamental boundaries
   • ij ligature that looks like y with umlaut
   • p.92: similar to the anchored comments in the Conimbricenses?
10. ​Heron Alexandrinus "Spiritalium liber" (1680)
11. ​Mersenne, Marin "Questions physico-mathematiques" (1635)
    • French
    • Special rule (two lines): type only complete pages, do not pages that are cut off
12. ​Pappus Alexandrinus "Mathematicae collectiones " (1660)
13. ​Stevin, Simon "Tomus quartus mathematicorum hypomnematum de statica " (1605)
