Incunabula Printed Catalogue Dataset: Volume 11

This dataset contains the source data for Jeanette Croen's 25/26 PhD placement. Digital images of volume XI of the 'Catalogue of books printed in the 15th century now at the British Museum' (BMC) were uploaded to Optical Character Recognition platform Transkribus. The images were transcribed using two separate layout models, one where the page contains two columns, and one where it contains four columns. Outputs are grouped into corresponding BMC_11_2 and BMC_11_4 subfolders, with the following naming convention XXXX_LD_31_b_`730_YYYY. The YYYY number can be used to intercalate the 2 column and 4 column images. The XXXX number is a four digit number indicating an incorrect reading order and should be disregarded. Two files are exported for each page, the original image and an xml containing the transcribed text.
