An overview of how CTS and IIIF work together in Beyond Translation to support the viewing of manuscript images of the Venetus A manuscript of the Iliad.
We start with a CTS-compliant transcription of the Iliad as it appears in the Venetus A. We then move to the beginning of the Iliad, book 5, and compare the manuscript source. We then look at a transcription of the main annotations (scholia) and zoom in on the section of the manuscript with the opening annotation. See this in Perseus 6.0 here.
The following demonstration reflects functionality that is still under development but should appear in Perseus 6 in spring 2023. The key idea is to enable users to go between a transcribed chunk of text to the region of interest in an image from which it was transcribed. The goal is to include all the data about all types of scholia from the Venetus A manuscript of Homer published by the Homer Multitext Project.
