Scriptorium
How to use Scriptorium
A concise guide to searching the corpus and evaluating a charter record.
1. Search or browse
Start with a person, place, institution, shelfmark or word. Open advanced filters only when you need to restrict dates, archives, relevance or processing state.
2. Open a charter
Each result has a stable URL. The scan appears beside the research data, with page controls for multi-page records.
3. Compare image and transcription
Use Readable for fluent reading, Diplomatic for a conservative letter sequence, Confidence map for uncertainty, or RAW for the complete canonical markup.
4. Inspect provenance
Blue labels identify information inherited from Monasterium. Green labels identify AI-derived transcription, translation and interpretation. Follow the source link when citing the archival description.
5. Use confidence responsibly
High and medium confidence records are suitable for discovery and contextual research. Review records should be inspected closely before relying on a disputed name, date or legal act.
