Encoding Crime and Punishment in TEI: The Digital Processing of Early Modern Broadsheets from Vienna

In this project note, we introduce a set of printed single broadsheets in German, recently discovered in two of Vienna’s libraries, which, thanks to their digitization, annotation, and online publication by the Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities (ACDH) at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW),...
