A brand-new Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) model for 13th-century Icelandic has been published on Transkribus. The model was trained by Alice Heeley, MA student in Viking and Medieval Norse Studies at the University of Iceland, under the supervision of Katrín Lísa L. Mikaelsdóttir (Adjunct at the Faculty of Icelandic and Comparative Cultural Studies, University of Iceland, and CDHA project manager). Trained on the manuscript AM 519 a 4to (c. 1280), this is the first publicly available model for medieval Icelandic on the platform.
