A methodological study for the construction of the Ligorio Digital platform: training  HTR models
Between 1569 and 1583 the antiquarian Pirro Ligorio wrote the "Enciclopedia dell’Antichità". A series of manuscripts – 18 in total organized in alphabetical order – in which he aimed to embrace every aspect of the ancient world.
My talk will focus on the methodological approach used to train the HTR models (final CER VAL of 2.22%). It will address the definition of the transcription criteria, the segmentation of the complex structure (with Latin and Greek inscriptions, drawings, architectural plans) and the difficulties in dealing with ancient roman symbols. 
This is part of my PhD project which aims to implement a prototype of an online platform that will host the digital publication experimenting with methodological solutions relating to all the phases: from the transcription to the tagging of the text (XML TEI), creation of links, visualization, and final dissemination of data.
