### Ground Truth Creation Process
|
| 57 |

|
| 58 |
+
1. Initial data was collected from e-manuscripta (150 images and corresponding transcriptions by Peter Stotz).
|
| 59 |
+
2. 8 images were removed due to excessive corrections or vertical text.
|
| 60 |
+
3. The remaining 142 images were uploaded to the Transkribus platform.
|
| 61 |
+
4. Line recognition was applied, and the text lines were manually copied into the recognized line boxes.
|
| 62 |
+
5. Minor corrections were made for inconsistencies in punctuation and capitalization.
|
| 63 |
+
|
| 64 |
+
### Creators
|
| 65 |
+
|
| 66 |
+
