Super interesting; I have been experimenting with AI image creator to create visualizations of Early Modern events & objects that have been lost to the record. One of those was a demonological-themed entertainment for Francesco I de' Medici from the same era as this text. Thanks so much for this post!
Very interesting! To me, AI-translations are particularly useful to make sense of automatic transcriptions done via Handwritten Text Recognition, which are often even more garbled than OCR texts. I sometimes use it to check Dutch documents, such as Amsterdam’s Notarial Records or the WIC documents. I even told wrote to David saying that after reading his substack post.
(I read your first book last year for a paper I’m writing on Brazilian tobacco, by the way. Congrats!)
