| Abstract | This session showcases a range of new technologies developed to produce digital editions and transcriptions of medieval materials for the benefit of students, academics and curatorial teams that research these texts. In our first paper, Clarck Drieshen talks about the benefits and challenges of cataloguing and transcribing over 8,000 medical recipes in Middle English and Latin with Transkribus in the Curious Cures in Cambridge Libraries digitisation project. Following this, Patricia O’Connor discusses her work with Handwritten Text Technology on eScriptorium to automatically segment and transcribe a damaged manuscript. In our third paper, Lucian Shepherd considers the potential benefits of a closer relationship between digital editions and students at all levels through academic outreach and accessible training such as the Taylor Editions Training Course run by Emma Huber at the Taylor Institution Library. |
