14th Century Dutch Charters

Free Public AI Model for Handwritten Text Recognition with Transkribus

14th Century Dutch Charters

Using a broad range of fourteenth-century cursive hands found in the ‘Registers van de Hollandse grafelijkheid 1299-1345’ source edition from the Huygens Institute, this broadly applicable model has been trained to transcribe fourteenth-century Dutch hands from all over the Northern Netherlands.

It uses Geertrui van Synghel’s model ‘Medieval Protocolbook ‘s-Hertogenbosch by Townclerck Petrus de Os sr., 1497-1542’ (id: 48709) as a base model.
