Looking for Resources - asteckley - 12-12-2023
Can anyone point me to some resources for obtaining digitized transliterations of other manuscripts (medieval or otherwise)?
I am looking for cases that can be processed for statistical features in the way enabled by the VMS transliteration files, (which Rene and others have done a great job developing and making available.)
I've been performing some computer-based analysis, making use of the VMS transliterations, and am finding some very interesting results which, if correct, could have valuable implications in our overall attempt to understand the Voynichese script.
But I really would like to validate these results by comparing them with other text sources.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated !

Hi,
you can check the historical corpus by Lindemann and Bowern.

Any target language? If you want transcriptions to be as close as possible to the original manuscript, look for diplomatic transcriptions.

Thank you for the reference!
Unfortunately (and I should have probably said this before), I am particularly interested in seeing the original line lengths and line breaks, unfortunately, these ones while useful for part of my analysis, do not include that.
(Another reason why the VMS transliterations are so great, thanks to a lot of effort that went into them.)

I'm looking for a variety of languages. And your tip on diplomatic transcriptions may have borne me some fruit. Thanks!

Useful files can be found in Brian Cham's "natural language sample pack."
