Beyond the Quill: AI-Powered Dating and Typological Analysis of Post-1540 Hebrew Manuscripts

Research output: Contribution to journal › Conference article › peer-review

Abstract

This project presents an innovative approach to analyzing and dating post-1540 Hebrew manuscripts through artificial intelligence. While traditional dating methods rely on manual paleographic analysis requiring extensive expertise, our research leverages MARC metadata from digital manuscript repositories, particularly the KTIV platform containing over 100,000 Hebrew manuscripts. Building on recent advancements in AI applications for historical manuscripts [1, 5] and Hebrew text analysis [3, 4], we aim to develop systematic methods for manuscript dating and identification of new typological features. Our preliminary analysis of manuscripts from 1600-1700 demonstrates distinct patterns in scribal traditions across different regions and time periods, suggesting the feasibility of AI-powered dating and classification methodologies.
