Dear colleagues,
w
ould any of you be able to give me or point me to scans of handwritten English or Italian texts? I happen to teach a 4EU+ class, where they are going to mess around with Transkribus. This year the group mysteriously consists purely of Italians from the University of Milan. As I understood, they are economists and social scientists rather than historians, so the texts should preferably not be extremely old and illegible. It does not have to be much, 50-100 pages in total would be great.
Since that teaching project was originally set up with Frenchmen, we have plenty of French data, apart from Czech, German, and Russian, but I can't expect the Italians to know these languages well enough. Any hints welcome. We will gladly give the transcriptions back to help a project!
