Archetype: Voynich Palaeography

Authors: Timm, Torsten;

Archetype: Voynich Palaeography

Abstract

A palaeographic database of the Voynich Manuscript (Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Yale University, MS 408) built with the Archetype framework (formerly DigiPal), developed at King's Digital Lab, King's College London. The database contains 203 manuscript images, 1,684 annotated graphs (images of individual letter forms), 8 scribal hand classifications, and 5 diagnostically significant allograph categories (iin, in, k, sh, weirdos). The hand labels follow the section-based classification proposed by Lisa Fagin Davis, attributing different sections of the manuscript to different scribes. This dataset is a supplement to the paper "One Hand, Five Labels: A Critical Examination of the Five-Scribe Hypothesis for the Voynich Manuscript" by Torsten Timm. The dataset is designed to be imported into an Archetype Docker instance. Installation instructions are included in the README.

The manuscript images included in this dataset are derived from the high-resolution scans freely provided by the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Yale University. They are included here solely to enable the Archetype database to function.
