1/ - 3.36 million characters - 113,228 lines - 1,602 files - 180 different manuscripts - 3 well represented languages (Latin, Castillan, Old French) and 4 others) This is what was used for the new generic model CATMuS Medieval ( zenodo.org/records/1006... ), a generic, model for HTR with Kraken.

this looks so cool! definitely going to check it out!! 🕹️
