A rare and remarkable occurrence of two female printer-publishers not only working together but using their given names: Yolande Bonhomme's imprint and Charlotte Guillard's colophon in an edition of Augustine published in Paris in 1541 (USTC 204524)! hdl.handle.net/10481/10736

The entire pipeline of #TEI annotation with #GPT:
- initial markup with a custom GPT-based model
- a loop of validation against the TEI-schema
- a TEI verification LLM
- a human editor in the loop
- a fully encoded TEI/XML
demonstrated by @LurchPollin at @DHdKonferenz

Curious what early modern printers earned? In 1693, printers at the #PlantinPress earned up to 6 florins weekly. Compositors’ wage fluctuated between 5 and 8 fl. a week. Collators earned only 3 fl. 12 st. weekly. At the time, 1 florin was enough to buy about 30 dried herrings.

Today at the HAB our guest tutor was Joost Depuydt from the @plantinmoretus. We got to see original 16th woodblocks next to the prints that they generated. Amazing to see the two side by side! – at Wolfenbüttel, Deutschland
