Description
Summary:This work presents a corpus of transliterated cuneiform tablets from the Electronic Babylonian Library (eBL) platform, including a public API endpoint to download the latest version of the data, and a Python library to parse the transliterations in ATF format. As of the time of writing, the constantly growing dataset contains around 25,000 tablets with over 350,000 lines of transliterated text. This dataset is a sizeable addition to open-source cuneiform data and a major milestone for research within the fields of cuneiform studies and NLP.
