Automated Layout Segmentation and Text Recognition for Literary Papyri and Incunabula

The Anagnosis project advanced digital analysis of Greek literary papyri and early printed texts, addressing challenges in papyrology and textual criticism. Developed within the Kallimachos framework (University of Würzburg, 2014–2019), it integrated tools for aligning transcriptions with images and applying OCR to Greek texts, including Herculaneum papyri and Aldine prints. Key outcomes include contributions to the Thesaurus Herculanensium Voluminum and the Digital Corpus of Literary Papyri. Anagnosis provided a foundation for future digital humanities innovations in classical studies.
