Abstract

This dataset contains dervied text data for Jeanette Croen's 25/26 PhD placement. The XMLs containing transciptions of images of volume XI of the 'Catalogue of books printed in the 15th century now at the British Museum' (BMC) were parsed using the code in 'End of PhD Placement Release - Python Entry Extraction Code' code entry in this collection. The parsing extracts all catalogue entries from BMC XI which are then run through a language recognition algorithm to extract only the English text, before being combined into a txt file with one catalogue entry per line.
