Abstract
This dataset includes the github repository used to derive catalogue entries from volumes 1-10 of the "Catalogue of books printed in the 15th century now at the British Museum" (know as BMC). The BMC was published between 1908-2007 and comprises detailed descriptions of the incunabula collection at the British Library. The dataset was created as part of an AHRC-RLUK Professional Practice Fellowship project to enable computational analysis with the catalogue descriptions and to encourage further reuse of the descriptions in online resources and in digital scholarship.

Additional information
The dataset was created using automated layout analysis, text recognition and catalogue entry detection. Transkribus was used to train a structure model for the pages with catalogue entries and the code used for the entry detection was developed by Isaac Dunford and improved by Harry Lloyd.

This is a copy of the specific commit (b65e9c7) of the repository used to generate the v1.0 of the associated results on the Research Repository.
