Hungarian handwriting 19th–20th Century 2.0

The most recent model developed by the Digital Humanities Centre of the National Széchényi Library has been trained on correspondences of Hungarian intellectuals from the late 19th century to the first half of the 20th century. The collection comprises letters from more then one hundred authors, centered around four persons: the poet and journalist József Kiss (1843–1921), the novelist Zsigmond Móricz (1879–1942), the painter József Egry (1883–1951) and Jolán Simon (1885–1938), actress and wife of the avant-garde writer Lajos Kassák (1887–1967). The corpus of this mixed-handwriting model is drawn from the collections of the National Széchényi Library, the Petőfi Literary Museum and the Kassák Museum. Notably, the Móricz correspondence – and, to some extent, the Kiss correspondence – was prepared and processed by the Petőfi Literary Museum.
