Norwegian Domestic Gothic 1750-1850

This model is based on Norwegian-Danish texts. The material consists mostly of manuscripts such as cookbooks and black books (Cyprianus), songs og hymns, private letters concerning Norwegian folklore and science, fairy tales, description of tradition, arts and crafts in Norway in the period 1750-1850. The written language in Norway in this period was Danish, much of the material is written in Danish, but the training material also contains texts written in Norwegian dialects. The aim of developing this model is to give some aid in reading and interpreting Norwegian gothic handwriting. Due to the ownership of some of the material, the training data is not published, but parts can be accessed by request. The contributors are: Part one of Christine Storm Munchs cookbook, from The Regional Archives of Hedmark and Oppland , transcribed by Inger-Karin Martinsen, supported by Unn Bostad as a part of the book project “Fru Christine Storm Munch og hennar kokebok” in 2016 (ENG: Ms. Christine Storm Munch and her cookbook, images can be found at: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/db10211311271001).
