This repository contains the dataset of the article "Towards a general open dataset and models for late medieval Castilian writing (HTR/OCR)" submitted to the Journal of Data Mining and Digital Humanities (JDMDH). I refer to the paper (arXiv) for the description of the corpus and the models.

The image of the manuscript M (Esc_M) has not yet been uploaded, pending permission from the library that keeps the manuscript.

All images are kept in a directory named after the place where the manuscript is kept, and the sigla of the witness for the in-domain dataset.

The global licence for the dataset (except for images) is CC-BY-NC-SA.

All manuscripts reproductions are published with the authorization of the libraries.
