A manuscript-reading practice tool for Greek, Latin, Old French, and Syriac, built from archival page images.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-28 issue.

Field notes

The exercises progress from visual comparison to unsupported transcription, allowing learners to work from the page image rather than a cleaned or reconstructed letterform. The source set spans nine manuscript witnesses and reports 550 exercise lines drawn from 27,183 lines of ground truth. The page also identifies practical friction points, including Greek ligatures, Gothic letter-shape ambiguity, and Syriac's right-to-left script with no vowels shown.
