§1.2. Quality Issues

Details of the page quality issues observed during the transcription process:

# Shelfmark-DigitalID Quality Bugs
1. artl_002 artl_002_00010.tif has bad alignment
2. litrdsch_1875 Misprint
3. litrdsch_1875 Misprint: litrdsch_1875_0146.tif (page 28); line 6-38 in the left column
4. thlblb_1866 Image "thlblb_1866_00037.tif", has a crossed 'o' (eg. ø, Unicode: U+00F8) in the word "Redaction" in multiple places on the page, which were manually corrected to a regular "o" during transcription.
5. thlblb_1866 thlblb_1866_00121.tif, right column - it seems like the long ſ was corrected manually
6. thlblb_1866 thlblb_1866_00425.tif, left column – the word "fünfte" is somehow blurred - seems like there are two "f".
