Agapet13

As part of the Agapet project, which aims to train with Transkribus HTR models to digitize Christian Arabic literature from the 9th to the 19th century, we present a new model, Agapet13, for the manuscripts of the 13th century. This development follows the training of Agapet17 for the manuscripts of the 17th century. https://www.transkribus.org/model/agapet17-christian-arabic-manuscripts This model was trained on the script of 13th-century copyist Poimen al-Siqi. The primary source for the dataset was the Sinai Ar. 418. Following its dissemination, the script has been widely circulated in both Damascus and Sinai.
