  1. I'm teaching a class tomorrow on Arabic / Persian #HTR, and my example manuscript is absolutely amazing. It's a famous 16th-century work on mathematics by al-'Āmilī made in India and has an absolutely insane-looking layout - glosses going diagonally in several directions off the main text - that is nevertheless relatively clear to a human reader, and is not unusual in Arabic books. Will be interesting to see how an AI handles it!

  11. I'm glad finally to be able to share the link to my finished project eManuSkript: emanuskript.vercel.app/.

    This is a suite of tools for teaching and learning digital #palaeography and #codicology as applied to #western Latin #manuscripts. The website includes 4 multi-use apps, and 4 supporting information packages, as well as a large searchable bibliography. Our code and text is available on GitHub under a CC BY-NC licence.

    A few bugs remain but they will be cleared in the next 2 weeks!
