### Guiding Principles of this Dataset 

#### Segmentation

* The goal is here to segment the "main text" while ignoring paratext. This means page numbers, catch words, marginal annotations, are purposefully not segmented

#### Transcription

* The guiding transcription principles are to
  * expand abbreviations
  * preserve orthography
