The ''iurisprudentia'' project wants to display the various opportunities offered by the digitalization of historic documents and automatic text recognition for legal research purposes. The main focus of this project is the collection of digitalized documents from legislation, jurisprudence and legal science. An automatic transcription will be displayed next to the digital copy.
This page is still under construction. The quality of the automatic transcriptions and their text recognition varies greatly from text-type to text-type. The automatic transcriptions aren't manually edited or corrected.
