Details of the page quality issues observed during the transcription process:
| # | Shelfmark-DigitalID | Quality Bugs |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | artl_002 | artl_002_00010.tif has bad alignment |
| 2. | litrdsch_1875 | Misprint |
| 3. | litrdsch_1875 | Misprint: litrdsch_1875_0146.tif (page 28); line 6-38 in the left column |
| 4. | thlblb_1866 | Image "thlblb_1866_00037.tif", has a crossed 'o' (eg. ø, Unicode: U+00F8) in the word "Redaction" in multiple places on the page, which were manually corrected to a regular "o" during transcription. |
| 5. | thlblb_1866 | thlblb_1866_00121.tif, right column - it seems like the long ſ was corrected manually |
| 6. | thlblb_1866 | thlblb_1866_00425.tif, left column – the word "fünfte" is somehow blurred - seems like there are two "f". |
