#ethicacomplementoria — Public Fediverse posts

And while we're at it - completely unrelated, but MADE MY DAY: It turns out the Bergen Public Library also has a copy of the #Danish #EthicaComplementoria from 1678! I did not know that despite crawling library catalogues regularly. I guess it is due to the fact that #SpecialCollections are still not fully findable via online catalogues... What a pleasant surprise!

My post about #ExLibris on #Friday created a bit of traffic, perhaps I stick to this kind of content?! I have materials for the next 48 years 😅!
On a different matter, I am delighted to announce that the #DigitalScholarlyEdition of the #EthicaComplementoria print from 1643 is now available on the #DTA #DeutschesTextarchiv https://www.deutschestextarchiv.de/book/show/nn_ethica_1643!
Read the text or download it. You can also get some analytics, like the most frequent words: Sache (thing), Rede (speech), Herr (Mr./man). Bullseye!

@emdiplomacy @historikerinnen @histodons @earlymodern Finally ordered for #UniOslo library and soon to be read for the #EthicaComplementoria project, a hans-on guide on how to navigate and master social situations, especially on the diplomatic scene!

Today, I will present our progress w/ the bilingual #DigitalScholarlyEdition of the #Danish #EthicaComplementoria prints from 1674 + 1678!
I'm happy to be invited to speak for the #Bookhistory research group at #UniOslo.
We've successfully transcribed & tagged 600+ pages (using #Transkribus for #AutomaticTextRecognition helped tremendously!) & are about to map them onto the #DeutschesTextarchiv #DTA base format. We'll make some adjustments for publication w/ #Bokselskap https://www.bokselskap.no/

🧵 2/ Continuing the morning w/ interviews to find a new research assistant for my bilingual #EthicaComplementoria #DSE to help quality check the #Markup and #Annotations and prepare the TEI/XML export from #Transkribus.
The Dept. of Archaeology, Conservation and History has many eager master students who expressed interest in working on the project. Exciting!

Today's #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO is mainly scheduling guidance sessions for the following weeks!
That's quite alright; I got to have lunch w/ my colleagues & answered questions regarding @zotero & how to get #OCR'ed reference lists into #Zotero using #AnystyleIO https://anystyle.io/.
We talked about the new #SustainableDSEs network.
I finalised and distributed a job offer for a research assistant to help me finish the bilingual #DigitalScholarlyEdition of the #EthicaComplementoria.

Tiny follow-up: my application for 20% research time for 2024 was accepted!! I will continue w/ the #NorKorr #EdvardMunch #Correspondence project, i.e. publish the Data Paper & start a larger study on mapping #DigitalScholarlyEditions at the #UniOslo & greater Oslo area! Excited!!
I will also continue working on preparing the Danish #EthicaComplementoria for publication; I have some funds for an assistant to help with creating a proper #TEI document based on #Transkribus transcription.

Good morning! It looks like today is my last work day this year, not by choice, but by Covid, which now has befallen yet another family member...
Anyways! Thanks for listening in on my ramblings about #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO, #EthicaComplementoria and #NorKorr. I promise some cool stuff for 2024 and frequent posts with a new hashtag #BærUt #SustainableDSEs
Seasonal greetings and a happy new year. Back in #January!

This is, by the way, **exactly** how I look when I use #HTR #Transkribus to work on the #EthicaComplementoria #DigitalScholarlyEdition. Just saying 😉

I spent the morning closing tickets for my #EthicaComplementoria edition of the 1643 print at the #DeutschesTextarchiv. It's finally done, and now I am waiting for the text to be released to the public! Exciting!!
Once it is, I will write a longer blog post on https://greflinger.hypotheses.org/ about what I did, how, and why it took such a long time. Stay tuned!

Today is Day 1 of my 3rd #ResearchLeave this year. It will be another 2-week stretch where I try to get continuous work done on my projects.
Initially, the plan was to work on the #DataPaper for the Edvard Munch correspondence metadata. Still, I might have to postpone that one because my colleague is unavailable this month.
That means it's time to move along the #Danish translation of the #EthicaComplementoria and some related presentations?!

I wrote a blog post about my quick shot test of #AutomatedTextRecognition #HTR using #OpenAI #ChatGPT4 on the #EthicaComplementoria print from 1674: https://greflinger.hypotheses.org/739

I managed to see the magic! Using my private account on #OpenAI w/ a Plus subscription & #GPT4 model, I used page 46 of the #EthicaComplementoria & the prompt: "The image I provide is of a 1674 print of the Ethica Complementoria. It's in early new high German. The font is a Fraktur. Please take your time and transcribe the first 10 lines of text. Here is the image:"

🧵 1/ It's #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO #Wednesday again, and I will be available again at the Dept. of Archaeology, Conservation and History during the day. I don't have any guidance sessions scheduled yet, so I will see what the day brings!
I continue my work with transcribing the #EthicaComplementoria using #Transkribus #HTR - and send out another job offer in my project, this time #TEI related. I have 40-50 hrs left for a research assistant to quality check and adjust the encoding.

And voilà: Here is the latest blog post, https://greflinger.hypotheses.org/721 written by my research assistant Håvard Loeng, about the transcription and proofreading of the 1678 Danish translation of the #EthicaComplementoria and the #Tranchierbuch!

🧵 2/ #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO While available for drop-in guidance, I try to catch up with the #Danish #EthicaComplementoria sub-project. My research assistant has moved on after doing a first round of proofreading all 328 pages and tagging layout and text features. I'm playing around with the @TEIConsortium #TEI export from #Transkribus, which is the next step in the project: Creating a clean, valid marked-up text to become the basis for the #DigitalScholarlyEdition and further work.

2/2 Today, I focus on checking the improved #HTR model results derived from the transcription of the 1674 #EthicaComplementoria print published in Copenhagen on the 1728 print. There were mainly issues w/ uppercase letters and some confusion about k/t/r and h/b/d. Let's check the results!

1/2 In previous posts, I've discussed that part of my position as an *academic* librarian means I have the right to 20% of research time (as part of my job). Usually, this is taken in bulk. But that's not always feasible. For this year, I am short 21 days, & I decided to distribute them over the remainder of autumn: Every time I get a chance, I will work on my transcriptions and improve the #HTR models for my #EthicaComplementoria and related #GeorgGreflinger editions.

So far, so impressive! It looks like it worked very well, with a few - expected - issues like the e/o superscripts being misread and some uppercase letters, which look different between the two prints. Correcting these won't take much time. I'll check the remaining four pages and decide whether to improve the current model for this particular print or not afterward! #EthicaComplementoria #Transkribus #DigitalScholarlyEdition

After successfully training and improving my #Transkribus #HTR model for the #EthicaComplementoria prints, I used it on the youngest Ethica from 1728. Typographically, it is still very similar to the editions from the 17th century, so that should not be a big problem. I'll quality-check the first eight pages today and see, whether it is worthwhile improving the model for this particular print.

So, I had the UiO-GPT create 2 scripts: one for creating 2 txt files, concatenating the contents of 10 individual files in a particular order each, and then the other for comparing these 2 files line by line and creating a CSV file containing only those lines that had differences in them.
Tweaking and fixing stuff still took time, but I am happy with the progress and found a sensible way of using #GPT. This concludes my #ResearchLeave: I progressed quite a bit w/ the #EthicaComplementoria!

And that's it! Sent off the new training set and hopefully improve the issues I have encountered!
I will also use this model for the 1728 print. It's a different printing press, but overall, the two prints are very much alike, and so is the #Fraktur type they use. #Transkribus #EthicaComplementoria #HTR #EarlyModern #PrintHistory

Moving back to the #HTR issues, we have phenomena like these (shown in the image): The layout detection model draws 'short' lines when the text is warped in the book fold. This leads to especially slim letters and punctuation not getting recognized. When I do the corrections, I will also extend the lines to include these characters. Hopefully, it will improve the recognition! #Transkribus #EthicaComplementoria

While proofreading, I observed 2 distinct ways #Typography is realised in the 1674 #EthicaComplementoria print from Copenhagen. This can happen when more than one worker is typesetting the print. Let's call them Villads & Emil. Villads has been doing this job for a while now; he routinely typesets all #Latin words w/ a beautiful cursive #Antiqua font. Emil, who's already having difficulty reading the #German text, uses #Fraktur for everything & only sets Latin proverbs in cursive. #BookHistory

"Must es nicht machen wie jener vom Adel / welcher vom Churfürsten zu Sachsen das schöne Gut Alt-Sattel genennet / begerete / weil aber dem Fürsten solches Gut sehr lieb und nutzbar war / sagte er zum Edelmann: Lieber / du bist ein Narr / was wilst du mit einen alten Sattel machen / ich will dir lassen fünff Thaler geben / kauff dir einen neu."
#EthicaComplementoria, Kopenhagen 1674, p. 34.

Exciting! Overnight, the text recognition job was completed and now I get to see how good the transcription is! #EthicaComplementoria #Transkribus #HTR

It's #Wednesday, and I'm continuing my work on transcribing the #EthicaComplementoria from 1674 using #Transkribus. My "job" ran overnight, and the training results were impressive! So, I did a final check on the layout recognition of the remaining pages and ran a #TextRecognition job on the entire Ethica print. The book contains both the Ethica Complementoria and the Tranchierbuch. The latter has many illustrations and tables, so I've decided to run it separately.

A blog post continuing my series of posts about the #EthicaComplementoria #DigitalScholarlyEdition project on the #GeorgGreflinger weblog: https://greflinger.hypotheses.org/716
Today about #HTR #Transkribus and re-using models.

I haven't talked much about my current #ResearchLeave this time. After a turbulent, travel-intense, and health-depleting summer, there was too much on my ordinary To-Do list, and it didn't feel right to hide away in my research cave. So, last week was largely spent checking off things on my list that had deadlines or needed others' input. This week, I try to focus on tying up some threads from my #EthicaComplementoria research sprint in June and see how far I get without overdoing it.

Officially, my #2 2-week #ResearchLeave this year has started, but I have some cannot-postpone stuff that needs doing. So, begrudgingly, I will check them off my to-do list today.
On a different note: This leave was planned for working on the Edvard Munch correspondence metadata paper. However, due to scheduling issues with my co-author, Munch is postponed to November. I will instead work on proofing the #EthicaComplementoria edition for the #GermanTextArchive and work on its Danish translation.

🧵 3/ #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO continues after lunch w/ my "adopted" colleagues from the #History section. I had a coordinating & getting-to-know meeting to set up some presentations and show-and-tell sessions for the Depts. #DigitalMeetup that happens every #Tuesday. I offered to do short sessions on #TaDiRAH, #Transkribus, #Tropy and #Tesseract during the fall. I'll use the 1678 #Danish translation of the #EthicaComplementoria as an example for #AutomatedTextRecognition of C17th books!
