Use this palaeographic utility to apply a stated dating, script, abbreviation, codicological, metrological, layout, or condition rule consistently while preparing manuscripts for scholarly review.

Charter text

Charter transcription to inspect.

Check a charter text for four classic diplomatic protocol elements by keyword heuristic - invocation (in nomine / signum sanctae crucis), intitulation (ego/nos), corroboration (signum manus, robo-, confirmo-, subscribo- forms) and datation (actum/datum/data/anno) - and score completeness out of four. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Detected

Protocol elements found.

Missing

Protocol elements not found.

Completeness

Fraction of the four elements present.

• Script and manuscript evidence varies by language, region, institution, period, scribe, material, restoration, and cataloguing convention. A heuristic flag or score is not an authoritative date, hand attribution, reading, provenance, or conservation diagnosis.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Retain page images, scale, foliation, material, provenance, diplomatic transcription, uncertainty, and comparison exemplars; confirm conclusions with codicological context and specialist judgment.

• Eschatocol Completeness Checker

  Score the closing protocol (eschatocol) of a charter against its four standard elements (dating clause, witness list, roboratio, sealing clause) under the stated heuristic: all four is complete, two or three is partial, fewer than two is fragmentary.

• Charter Witness Ranker

  Rank charter witnesses by list position and classify each by a stated keyword heuristic on Latin/English title tokens with precedence royal > ecclesiastical > noble > knightly > unspecified.

• Feastday Anchor Extractor

  Extract the feast-day dating anchor from a charter by substring heuristic against a documented table of common sanctorale feasts with their fixed liturgical dates (or movable status), returning the earliest match in the text.
