Abstract

ManuLab is a software product for statistical analysis of encrypted historical manuscripts. The document analysis is performed via a chain of filters (main building elements). A filter represents any operation realizable on a document transcription divided into a set of pages. The implemented filters allow to change the reading direction, select sub-pages, or a subsection from the document, and calculate several statistics like the index of coincidence, Shannon’s entropy, n-gram frequency, etc. The software design also includes document visualization, displaying pairs of manuscript pages with corresponding transcriptions.
