Swedish 17th century (Savo, Eastern Finland)

The training material for this model is written in the Gothic handwriting style, also known as the 'German' handwriting style. This model has been developed for 17th-century handwritten Swedish. It was brought to life as part of Ville-Pekka Kääriäinen's doctoral project at the University of Helsinki, focusing on the 17th-century Upper Savonia (Ylä-Savo, Iisalmi/Idensalmi parish, Eastern Finland). As such, the model's capacity to interpret proper nouns (person and place names) may be somewhat limited, due to the specific geographic scope of the training data. For more information on the model data please check this link: https://readcoop.eu/model/swedish-17th-century-savo-eastern-finland/ The model adheres closely to the source material in its structure. Monetary units, measurement units, and other abbreviations have been addressed with their inherent logic, albeit without expanding them. For instance, common currency units like the mark and thaler (swe: daler) are depicted by symbols m/m:r or D/D:r, contingent on the context. The model has been created through substantial personal effort and commitment. It is my hope that it will prove beneficial to others. I am open to collaboration to further develop this model.
